sorry!
my internet went out, and didn't really notice because I haven't been 
home. so I'm doing this off of my phone.

now first off, ill at least consider myself a newbie here, but:

when I was still toying with programming on XP, I remember VB or c++ 
using virtual key codes.

from my understanding, it's their system of quickly identifying and 
sending key strokes. virtual there just saying whether the keys actually 
exsist or not.

whell I need this towards a windows version of my app (linux ver ready) 
of course unless theres a better way:

I need to tell XP to raise the volume as a system command, and possible 
maybe even get the current volume.

-after long research previous, the closest thing I found was sndvol132 
or something, which only loads the vol config gui. (i do have access to 
XP)


well thanks in advance, and if u wanna check out my app, the link should 
be:
