## Member Function Documentation

## buttonPressed()

virtual void AppleRemoteDevice::buttonPressed | ( | ButtonType | buttonId,
|  | bool | isDown
| ) |  |

pure virtual

Override this method to receive the callback about a button press.

The callback will happen on the application's message thread.

Some buttons trigger matching up and down events, in which the isDown parameter will be true and then false. Others only send a single event when the button is pressed.

## start()

bool AppleRemoteDevice::start | ( | bool | inExclusiveMode | ) |

Starts the device running and responding to events.

Returns true if it managed to open the device.

Parameters

  inExclusiveMode | if true, the remote will be grabbed exclusively for this app, and will not be available to any other part of the system. If false, it will be shared with other apps.

## stop()

void AppleRemoteDevice::stop | ( |  | ) |

## getRemoteId()
