    Is there a way to Enable/Disable multiple groups in one action?
    The situation is,My config have 6 groups:Misc, MouseControl, Soft_Winamp, Soft_PowerDVD, Soft_BSplay and Soft_System.As U can see,the last 4 are for Individual Apps.And I use one button on my remote to switch through them,the procedure is somehow like this:
    MultiGroup switch()
    __case 1:
    ____disable Soft_PowerDVD
    ____disable Soft_BSplay
    ____disable Soft_System
    ____enable Soft_Winamp
    ____question "Winamp Mode"
    __case 2,3,4............
    This make the MultiGroup long&hard to edit,I think a better way to do this is a action that can disable Soft_*
    Any idea? or had I missed something?

    Thanks a lot especially for keeping it COOL&FREE!

    It is easy. I did it for myself. Create Macro command to disable all apps. Copy and paste it 5 times. You have 6 macros. Modyfi them to switch on selected app. Then applay multi-state to them. It requred 15 min your work but not 1 day coding, testing, geting more memory for unnecesary task in Girder core.

    Thanks bodziak............but....... what is a Macro?.........I'm a newbie here....
    I've searched the maillist,still dont know???However,I guess U mean this?
    Code:
    |
    +-Group_Control                       <--The Group
       |
       +-Disable_All                      <--A MultiGroup assigned to "Mode" button
       |   +--Disable Soft_Winamp
       |   +--Disable Soft_PowerDVD
       |   +--Disable Soft_BSplay
       |   +--Disable Soft_System
       |
       +-Switch_Groups                    <--Another MultiGroup assigned to "Mode" button
           +--Enable Soft_Winamp          __MultiState Case 1
           +--Question "Winamp Mode"      /
           +--Enable Soft_PowerDVD        __MultiState Case 2
           +--Question "PowerDVD Mode"    /
           +--............
    This config works.And the number of commands needed is 3*Groups not Groups*(Groups+1),better now.
    To say about coding a wildcard support,I found that Girder internally uses Identifier number not Name,Thus a simple patch would be impossible.Never realized this before,I must say sorry to U,RonB

    Thanks a lot for Ur Help!
