Kinect 360 Body Control Skill

How do I pause and unpause the Kinect Body Control skill within a program? There doesn't seem to be a ControlCommand to do this. Without this ability, I have to walk up to my robot and physically press the pause check box. The robot reacts to my movement as I approach - not ideal.

Just to clarify, when the Kinect 360 displays a green figure (paused and unpaused), the XBox controller doesn't operate properly. Put a lens cover over the Kinect 360 so there is no green figure displayed, the XBox controller works normally.

Okay - thanks for the clarification - it's what I figured by having the cover on the lense. It still baffles me though haha

My Kinect xbox 360 was not working - I went to "settings" on my laptop, Bluetooth  and devices remove the Kinect and reconnected it then it worked.

My Kinect 360 is connected via USB. I didn't see any reference to it in Bluetooth settings. I did see Kinect USB audio device listed, so I removed that. I'll test it again later.
