EventGhost is an open-source automation tool for MS Windows, that can be extended through plugins. It can use different input devices like infrared or wireless remotes to trigger macros, that on their part control a computer and its attached hardware. After the user has configured everything to its needs, the program will run silently in the system tray and waits for an event to arrive. So it can be used to control a Media-PC with a normal consumer remote for example.

Other common things that can act as a trigger for an event are:

* key presses (hotkeys)
* mouse-clicks
* joysticks/gamepads
* a program is starting or is switched to by the user
* another program like EventGhost (on another PC), Girder or Netremote is sending an event through TCP/IP
* a special HTTP request is made to the internal web server
* another program is sending an event through ActiveX

and everything some code can catch, as events can also be generated through plugins.

I downloaded this awhile back when I was trying to figure out how to remote control Xlobby. I ended up using an xLobby plugin.
Again to show how retarded I am , I never got eventghost to work for me.

Well... I added Event Ghost support to the screen designer.

Would this be the tool to use to control a multisource, multizone system via multiple instances of WinAmp? similar to the old command cubes?

Manny, if you want to use it I will show you. It took me 30 minutes to figure it out. But once you understand then it can do allot of stuff and being you can assign a EVentGhost event to a eHome button there is a whole new world to explore! LOL

There is code in eHome to do ths already. I wrote it about 4 years ago but eHome has changes a WHOLE LOT!!! I would have to go back and revisit it again to make it work.
