Recording/Editing Custom Controls

When you create a custom control, you record a series of events and special functions, that are played back when you run the custom control. The process for creating a new cc and editing an existing one are the same, except when editing you have the option to insert events at different points in the existing cc.

Almost any action or setting can be stored in a custom control, with the following exceptions:

  • Diagnostic Functions
  • Confirmation Dialogs
  • Panel-Specific Functions
Note: It is recommended that you use a control panel for recording custom controls.

Keep the following in mind when recording custom controls:

  • Some functions take time to perform and a pause should be added after the function to ensure that the command is completed before moving on to the next command.
