Hi Robby,
Don't forget that when you use MyHouse
remotely you can only control modules and
macros that are defined on the 'host' pc.
If you wish to initiate some other Windows
function on the host PC remotely via
MyHouse then the only way to do this is to
use the Windows command function.
For example, there is a bug in MyHouse
which does not correctly end a dial up
session as defined in the preferences (e.g.
after 20 minutes of connection). In this
example, I created a windows command file
to manually force a disconnect from the
internet. The file is created in Notepad
and saved as a .cmd file i.e.
disconnect.cmd.
The file can be stored anywhere on
the 'host PC' i.e. C:\mydocuments
I then created a Macro using the Windows
command button (advanced features). This
command simply calls or points to the file
disconnect.cmd and then runs it.
Note: in notepad you must obviously define
a valid windows command. In my example I
used rasdial /d (which disconnects from the
net).
You can type a windows command directly
into the Windows Commands dialogue of the
Macro, but you cannot pass other parameters
to the command. The advantage of using my
batch file (.cmd)technique is that
parameters can be passed to the windows
command. In my example using rasdial, the
parameter would be /d (for disconnect).
You can do an internet search to see the
standard Windows commands available. Just
be careful as you can use commands to turn
off the PC or restart it etc..
Hope this helps.
