title: programming an universal remote control
body: <p>I have a remote control RM200 and I want to program it
  so I can detect key presses and send them to applications.</p>
  
  <p>Now, which API can I use in Windows?</p>
  
  <p>HID usb API? IRDA API?</p>
  
  <p>I'm confused.</p>
  
  <p>My remote is an IRDA remote but sometime I read that I can program this device
  with HID USB API????</p>
