Trying to make a VB volume control.

[alt_f13]

I want to make a volume control that uses input from my usb keypad only.

 

I cannot find out how to access the windows volume through VB, much less the bass level etc.

 

Second... any way to isolate the input from the keypad which, as it is, exactly emulates the keyboard keypad? If not, w/o actually writing new drivers for it, oh well... Reading the joystick input would be nifty too.

 

I've just been searching the net for hours now and cannot find a blooming simple volume control I can disect - they have so many useless features I can't understand.

well, all i can say is that is it possible, my keyboard has volume control and all, maybe you could just buy a new one with multimedia hot-keys, which normally include: forward + backward, play, pause, stop, mute and a volume control... i shall look into it though.
