This is a general remote control module for Litestep. By passing windows messages to programs you can interact with them through the Litestep GUI (like shortcuts, popupmenu or whatever that supports bang commands).
Installation
Unzip the remote.dll into your Litestep directory. Add the line:
loadmodule c:\litestep\remote.dll
to your step.rc (change c:\litestep to point at your litestep dir)
After this you will have to add a *send command for each message you want to be able to use.
the syntax is:
*send <command-name> <window/program> <message> [program to run]
where <command-name> is the name you want this message to have <window/program> is the name of the program/title of the window <message> is the message number to send (check the program documentation for the right codes [program to run] optional, if the window isn't found, run this program
example:
*send IDNEXT CoolPlayer 40014, c:\program\coolplayer\coolplayer.exe
would send 40014 to the CoolPlayer window whenever Litestep runs a !Send IDNEXT and if that window isn't found it would run the coolplayer.exe.
This way you can control everything from mp3-players to webbrowser to windows native functions.

Updates
- 1.02 - Added the ability to run a program if the window wasn't found, so that you could start up the required program. Also added the commands section to this file, so you could get started easier.
- 1.01 - Recompiled the module in a more aggressive manner, reducing its size to 20% of the last release. Enjoy!
