What is a CCF?
A CCF, or Pronto configuration file, stores a single Pronto configuration. A
Pronto configuration fully defines a Pronto user interface including all devices,
macro groups, panel layouts, and button appearances and behaviors (including
all IR codes). CCFs have file extension ‘ccf’ and are represented by the
icon. They contain the following kinds of information:
•
A
Panel
defines the rectangular area of your Pronto’s screen
between the menu bars at the top of the screen and the gray bar at
the bottom of the screen.
A panel consists of up to 255
frames
or
buttons
, and in turn every
frame can contain up to 255 frames or buttons. Frames are
inactive user interface elements with either a background color or
a bitmap, and a name. Buttons are active user interface elements
with a background color or a bitmap for each of four different
states, a name, and an
action list
. An action list is a list of up to
255 actions. An action can be a delay, an IR code, or a reference
to another action list. The last action of every action list can be a
jump to a specific panel.
•
A
Device
is a list of panels plus an action list for every Pronto
direct-access and left/right key. A single device usually defines the
control buttons for a single ‘real live’
device, but this is not
required. Devices appear in the right hand side device menu of
your Pronto.
•
A
Macro Group
is a list of panels plus an action list for every
Pronto direct-access key (in a macro group, the left/right keys
cannot have an action list). A single macro group usually defines a
number of related macros, but this is not required. Macro groups
appear in the left hand side macro group menu of your Pronto.
