Hello,
Currently I am trying to figure out how can I send a 'ALT-A' command to a client running Windows Media Encoder. The scenerio is as follows: -

Client ---> WinNT IIS -----> Windows Media Encoder
(Simple webpage) (Running Unisyn Automate4)

When a client machine access the IIS, a webpage will be shown with various audio channel for selection. When you click on 1 of the link, Windows Media player will execute on the client machine, playing the streamed audio.
As the Windows Media Encoder has only 1 sound card and 1 tuner card, I installed Automate4 from Unisyn to change audio channel using Hotkeys, eg, ALT-A will bring you to Radio 1, ALT-B will bring you to Radio 2 etc. Hence whenever the client user wants to change Audio stream, he/she will just have to click on the Audio link on the webpage. The problem now is, how can the client user trigger the 'ALT-A' to the Windows Media Encoder wkstation? I have tried using WMI's exec.vbs with no success. Is there any program or language that can be written on a webpage and when the user clicks it, it actually sends the command back to the webpage host to trigger the channel change?

Sorry for my inadequate knowledge but I do hope to make it work.

Please help... Thank you very much
gavon,
MCP
