Universal Remote Control Programming

I have an RM200 remote control and I want to program it so I can detect keystrokes and send them to applications.

Now, which API can I use on Windows?

HID usb API? IRDA API?

I'm confused.

My remote is an IRDA remote, but someday I read that I can program this device with the HID USB API

AFAIK, you cannot use the IRDA interface to receive infrared remote controls, because IRDA is a special protocol and the interface cannot be "abused" to receive other signals.

To receive infrared remote control signals, you need an additional device. The infrared receivers for your serial port are pretty easy to build.

A good source of information and software is: http://www.lirc.org/

The windows lirc port is called WinLIRC and can be found here: http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/overview.html
