Preserved Topic: SCripting to control programs

Okay a little background first. I The other day I bought a used computer and monitor from this lady. When I got them she also gave me a 15" touch-screen monitor she was trying toget rid of.

Anyway I'm thinking of getting some extensions and putting this on my end table and writing some sort of script that will allow me to control my MP3 player and the DVD drive.

Sounds good but I'm not sure how to go about it. I'm thinking the easiest way is to write some code that emulates key-controls to the DVD application and the MP3 app (ie' pressing a link = ctrl+p to the mp3 player and pauses it) I dunno this makes sense to me but I've never coded an application like this

Any ideas to get me started?

Wow, how do you interface the touch-screen monitor I wonder.

Most touch screen drivers just emulate mouse actions.

Sounds very cool

But as usual, I have no idea.

If works like a mouse create a simple C++ GUI program with buttons and have thier eventlisteners do tasks. Much would probabally depend on the opperating system you wish to do this with.

If you are really interested I could fire this question to some people who would actually know more what they are talking about.
