low there! I really like the program WinLIRC in http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/ but my only problem is that there is no timer, can anyone create a timer so that I can set my device to turn on and off at the times that the user will also input in the program?
So, let me get this right: You want to set up a timer so that you turn on (say) the TV at 4pm, then turn it off again at 5pm?
I would have thought that setting a timer wouldn't be terribly difficult.
Another thought would be to use the Windows "Schedule tasks" to start and stop the TV.

Can you at least get a crack at it? I'm very puzzled at what exactly to do about the timer thing.
Well, Windows itself supports several forms of timers - I don't know what you ACTUALLY want to do, so I can't only guess which one you wan to use.
In a Windowed application, you could use:
SetTimer().
You can either supply a timerfunc to that function, or you can catch the WM_TIMER event.
There are other ways, but without understanding what you want to achieve, it's kind of hard to recommend something.

Um, didn't you read that it can be edited with Visual C++ 6? You must have not opened the link that I gave. All I want is another dialog to appear in the program where you can set a timer for a certain signal that was previously learned or will be learning. In the timer, I can set let say my TV to turn on at a certain time & turn off at another certain time. What you said in your first post was already correct. I have already built the receiver, but all I really need now is the program that I have to admit is very hard to do. tnx.
I looked at the link you gave, but when the zip file of the two source-code components come to about 180KB I'm not going to sit down and understand where and how to implement something like that - it's not THAT trivial.
There are a few dozen files here, and each of them contain a few hundred to a thousand lines of code.
If you want someone to do it for you, you'd better be prepared to either wait or pay for it to be done.
