Hi,

I'm trying to write a program using JAVA that will control powerpoint
slide show from a mobile phone

over bluetooth connection.

The phone's keys will do the function of left and right-arrows of the
computer keyboard.

To do those, I need to have the system call codes for powerpoint. I
mean, I'm guessing so...

Does anyone know how can I find these system call codes, or does anyone
has any other comment or

suggestion on this matter?

Anything replied to this subject is very much appreciated...
 
The only way I know to do this is by using a "Send Keys" statement. (I have
no idea how you would do that in Java as I never use Java.)

In VB or VBA you would use something like "sendkeys string" where string is
the key you are sending. Be aware, using the send keys function is a bit,
umm, delicate and you must make certain of what app has the current focus in
Windows.

A search of the Microsoft on line knowledge base should give you examples of
it's use.
