I hope someone can help here.
I am trying to send control codes to a projector from my PC using Powerpoint. I can't see anything built into VB that will let me do it. If it is possible could someone just even point me in the right direction.

This may sound a little silly, but...

... do you know that the projector accepts commands via the video screen input. Have you read the users manual for the projector? Very few that I have dealt with use this method of control. Perhaps there is a seldom-used remote control for the projector?


I suspect there is more to your question than you posted. Are you asking how to configure your projector via the computer interface? If the projector has a control program and if it is loaded, than you could do some simple (dreaded but simple) 'Sendkey' commands.
