  LevelX - there's actually are really stupid *quirk* with iHDsim that is likely the cause of why you are not seeing ctrl+M repsond correctly. That is.. iHDsim does not like alot of USB keyboards. it sounds stupid, but you either have to have a PS2 keyboard or a "microsoft" branded usb keyboard to get the keyboard shortcuts to work correctly.
  
  This has been the case in all of my experience with the sim so far. Currently my laptop that I do all my development on has it's keyboard wired to an internal usb port.. So while there's a long list of keyboard shortcuts for skipping chapters, menu keys, resume keys and all the normal remote functionality... none of them work.
  
  An odd tip though... if all you want to test is the menu key... press simply the 'alt' key and it will actually throw a controller key down event with the right keycode for the menu key as if you pressed ctrl+M.

  if (evt.key == 0xCE)
  {
  // your code to hide the div
  evt.stopPropagation();
  evt.preventDefault();
  }
  
  Does it work if you add the code above
  Where can I find this guide you referred to
  
  Cheers,

  You'll need to react on the event generated by the remote control key:
  
  application.addEventListener("controller_key_down",handleEvent,true);
  
  function handleEvent(evt)
  {
  if (evt.key == 0xCE) { your code to hide the div }
  }
  
  Btw. Is there a list somewhere with numeric values for all remote control keys

  I'm testing my remote control events and I would like to use the MS Sim to do this instead of using the Xbox. So I searched the help and the forum and I can't seem to get CTRL+M and CTRL+T to work in the MS Sim. However my events are being called. I've tried code that I know works in the Xbox and that doesn't work.

  Do I need to start the MS Sim in a special way

  For the Media Remote/IR blaster No, I don't recall needing any drivers, XP SP2 recognised it right away.

  Thanks but I'ts still not reacting in ihdsim when I press CTRL+M, the guide has a list with VK_PLAY, VK_MENU etc, but when I use that the sim gives an error an exits.

  To work around the weird usb keyboard issues that ihdsim has, use the Media Center Remote with the IR dongle plugged into USB.

  Thanks, I noticed the alt thing its strange it also focuses the ihdsim's menu (File, Preferences, etc.) Hope a future version of the sim will fix this. Besides that it would be nice if MS would just let people download ihdsim.exe when a new version is released instead of the need for installing the whole jumpstart package again. But hey it's free :)

  iHD is very nice to play with, it's funny that it also uses a combination of Jscript and XML just like Sony's UMD video does, I would expect Blu-ray to have this but instead they choose java for it.
