Action Apply Mode

Overview

Action Apply Mode allows you to apply actions (such as Play, Stop, Pause, Resume, etc.) to one or to multiple Media Items when the action button is clicked. For example, if the mode is set to "Apply To Loaded" and you have 3 Media Screens loaded, clicking the Play button will start all Media Screens playing at once. The Action Apply Mode Toolbar (Figure 1.) will set which mode is currently in use. When modes "Apply To Loaded" and "Apply To Group" are selected, the background of the toolstrip buttons that are affected will be highlighted (see Figure 2.) as a visual aid to remind the user which mode she is using. The highlighted colors are editable in the Options -- Program tab.
