MCE Remote Control

Hi! I'm new the forums, so please excuse me if this has been brought up before.

Anyway, my question is if anyone knows how to directly receive codes from a eHome Media Center remote that comes with many new Media Center PCs. The reason why I ask is that I'm attempting to write a WinLIRC server for the remote. While some commands on the remote already output as "normal" keystrokes, some however do not; for example the Play button.

The only thing I've been able to find online is a link to MSDN ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/remote_control.asp ) that shows me what some of the Win32 messages are. Of course the C# example works to an extent but it doesn't translate the buttons I need (Play, Stop, etc). Also you need to have the window (WinForm) in focus in order to capture it.

What I simply want to do is this: I want to create an C# application that will sit in the system tray, capture the codes being recieved from the remote, and send out the code I recieved to any connected WinLIRC clients.

I can handle all but getting the codes from the remote.
So does anyone have any source code I could point to or better documentation

Thanks

David

PS: The device in question, specificily, is the "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver"

As this post is not about .NET or C# specifically, I would post this on the Microsoft Newsgroups. You are more likely to get a response.
