Naming Custom Controls
After a custom control has had events added to
it, you can give it a descriptive name. This name
appears on the menus, the mnemonics, and the

is useful when working with multiple custom
control banks. As you switch banks, the
mnemonics display the names for the custom
controls on the selected bank.

Editing Custom Controls
Once a custom control has been created, you
can go back and edit that custom control by
inserting or removing events. Editing a custom
control also allows you to view the sequence of
events that were added, and then insert pauses,
holds, or special functions or commands, where
they are needed.
You cannot edit a custom control if the custom
control is running on another panel connected
to the system.
