Driver Station + Space Bar

[phynix]

All you people who do not like accidentally e-stopping your robot...

We are currently trying to use WindRiver C++ to program our robot...and, of course, this language requires the use of the space bar (GASP). Now, everyone knows that the space bar is equivalent to e-stop - even when focus isn't being given to the Driver Station.

My question to you all: Is there any way to prevent the driver station from doing this? The simplest solution would be if there is some kind of hidden option to disable e-stop.

However, not being able to find such an option, I am resorting to more...messy...means.

From what I've seen, it seems the only way the Driver Station could be doing this is through the use of hooks (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.85).aspx) to intercept ALL system events--not just ones that are in its current process. However, when I load the Driver Station, along with the Windows Process Explorer (external download from Microsoft), it shows that the Driver Station is not loading any other dlls--which cannot be the case. Global hooks can only be implemented through DLLs. I could not find any windows hook callbacks in the several DLLs that are in the same directory as the driver station exe file.

Any ideas would be much appreciated, likely to any team that has this same problem.
