Hi Peter,

Tried
if pkeyname is "j" then
set the playrate of player videoplayer to -1
start player videplayer
end if

Results in a pause in playback as long as I am holding ctrl-j, as soon as that's released, forward play resumes.

Thanks.

Tim

Tim,

Try both commands in order: set playRate, then start.

Hi Paul,

Using 9.0 dp11 community. After sending the post, I found in the dictionary 
that for windows, commandkeydown message. After changing my script from 
controlkeydown to commandkeydown, it worked. Sort of.

My next problem is that on the LC/osx I use:
  if pkeyname is "j" then set the playrate of player videoplayer to -1
  if pkeyname is "k" then set the playrate of player videoplayer to 0
  if pkeyname is "l" then set the playrate of player videoplayer to 1

to start, stop or reverse the player from the keyboard. This worked great in 
LC/osx, but is not working in win7/LC.

I changed the lines to
  if pkeyname is "k" then stop player videoplayer
  if pkeyname is "l" then start player videoplayer

and that works in win7/lc. But can't figure out how to send a play in reverse 
command from the keyboard yet.

controlKeyDown is absolutely available on Windows. See the dictionary
entry in LC8.1.9 for example. What version of LiveCode are you using?

Hi,

Trying my first little LC app on Windows. I wrote an app on osx and am
now trying to get it to work in a Win7 machine.

On the mac app, I use ctrl-J, ctrl-K, and ctrl-L to control the video
player. JKL is pretty standard video player control in video editing
software.

On the mac app, the card script 'listens' for controlkeydown, and if
the other key is J K or L, sends the appropriate go, stop, reverse
command to the player.

Have just discovered controlkeydown is not available on windows. Is
there an equivalent? What would the windows guy and gals here use?

Thanks,
