© Jordan Pittman © Monkey Bread Software Hello, My Name is Jordan Pittman, I based this project off of MBS's AppleRemoteMBS Plugin/Plugin Part. This Class Allows you to implement an Interface and all the background code will do the rest. Anyway, the Interface (AppleRemoteReceiver) has 1 method, RemoteButtonPressed(button As Integer) buttons are defined as ants in the AppleRemoteModule but here is the list kRemoteButtonUp = 1 kRemoteButtonDown = 2 kRemoteButtonMenu = 3 kRemoteButtonPlay = 4 kRemoteButtonRight = 5 kRemoteButtonLeft = 6 kRemoteButtonHoldRight = 7 kRemoteButtonHoldLeft = 8 kRemoteButtonHoldMenu = 9 kRemoteButtonPlaySleep = 10 kRemoteControlSwitched = 11 kRemoteButtonHoldUp = 12 kRemoteButtonHoldDown = 13
End Interface
