Manage Bluetooth remote shutter keys from my Windows application

I have developed an application in C++ that runs on Windows 7, 8.x and 10. I would like to use a Bluetooth remote shutter to control the application.

The remote shutter seems to be a HID device that sends keypresses to Windows. The default behavior of those keypresses is Volume Up, Volume Down, Play/Pause, Next and Previous.

While I can detect those keypresses from my application and act on them, I have not managed to disable Windows acting on them. E. g. currently, when someone presses the Volume Up key on the remote shutter, two things happen:

• Whatever I tell my application to do on that keypress
• Also, volume goes up on Windows

How can I tell Windows not to act on those keypresses for this particular device?

Thank you
