Introduction
What is ProntoEdit?
ProntoEdit is the visual editor for Pronto configurations. A Pronto configuration fully defines a
Pronto user interface including all devices, macro groups, panel layouts, button appearances
and the behavior of all buttons, direct-access and left/right keys (including all IR codes).
ProntoEdit always has a single configuration open, the current configuration. See What is a
CCF? for more information on Pronto configuration files.
ProntoEdit provides two complementary views on the current configuration. On the left side of
ProntoEdit’s main window you’ll find the configuration view, a typical tree view of the overall
structure of the current configuration. At the top level of this tree view you’ll find HOME,
DEVICES and MACRO GROUPS. These top levels are associated with the home section, the
right hand side device menu and the left hand side macro group menu on your Pronto.
Configuration view Panel view
Underneath DEVICES is a list of devices, and underneath MACRO GROUPS is a list of macro
groups. Underneath HOME, every device and every macro group is a property item and a list of
panels. The property item underneath HOME provides access to the Pronto system properties,
and the property item underneath a device or macro group provides access to the properties of
that device or macro group. Included in these properties are the definitions of the direct-access
and left/right keys.
On the right side of ProntoEdit’s main window you’ll find panel views. A panel view displays the
contents of a panel as it is defined in the current configuration. Panel views provide an up to
date view on the current configuration, and any changes to a panel view are immediately
incorporated into the current configuration.

What is ProntoEmulator?
Though part of the ProntoEdit package, ProntoEmulator is a separate application which
emulates every aspect of a real Pronto1. You can use ProntoEmulator to test drive your
configuration without the need to download it to your Pronto. At any time you can launch
ProntoEmulator from ProntoEdit by clicking in the toolbar or selecting Run Emulator from
the Tools menu.
When the cursor is over ProntoEmulator’s window, press the right mouse button to display a
pop-up menu to get access to the following ProntoEmulator functions: Help, About,
Transparent, Minimize and Close. The Transparent function is discussed in How can I make
ProntoEmulator faster?
1The speed of the emulator depends on your PC configuration and may differ
from the speed of the real Pronto.

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.

What can I use ProntoEdit for?
One of the best features of the Pronto is its adaptability: you can make buttons and whole
panels appear and disappear, change button labels, learn IR codes, and create and edit your
own macros. But if you want to personalize your Pronto even more, ProntoEdit is the perfect
tool for you.
With ProntoEdit you can make all the changes you can make on your Pronto. In addition,
ProntoEdit allows you to perform a range of powerful tasks, including:
•Uploading and downloading configurations from and into your Pronto;
•Adding buttons to panels;
•Rearranging panels;
•Adding panels to devices;
•Adding new devices;
•Using your own bitmaps;
•Creating your own custom devices;
•Making any button into a macro;
•Creating macros within macros;
•Letting any button take you to any panel;
•Replacing the home panels with your own panels.
How can this guide help me use ProntoEdit?
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for a range of common ProntoEdit tasks and is
only intended to get you started with ProntoEdit. This guide is not meant to be a ProntoEdit
reference guide. We therefore encourage you to investigate the range of features offered by
ProntoEdit which are not covered by this guide.
A note on menus
Most ProntoEdit menu items are accessible both through the regular menus at the top of
ProntoEdit’s window and through so-called context menus.
Right-click any item in the configuration panel to open its context menu.

How do I save the configuration in ProntoEdit in a
CCF?
If the current configuration in ProntoEdit is not empty, you can save it in a CCF by clicking
in the toolbar, or by selecting Save Configuration or Save Configuration As from the File
menu. If you use Save Configuration As you can save the CCF in any of the following formats
(all result in .ccf files):
•DB Configuration Files
•Pronto Configuration Files
Note that saving the configuration as a Pronto Configuration File
will discard all Universal Database information.
•Old Pronto Configuration Files
Note that saving the configuration as Old Pronto Configuration file
will discard all timer and beep actions
If a saved configuration does not fit in your Pronto, ProntoEdit will tell you it is too large and
cancel the save. Depending on how oversized the configuration is (ProntoEdit displays this
information both in absolute and relative terms) you should delete some elements and then try
saving it again.

Basic Tasks
In this section we assume ProntoEdit is running and contains the configuration
you want to change.
How do I start with the factory default CCF?
The ProntoEdit distribution comes with a single sample CCF in <install>/Samples where
<install> is the directory in which ProntoEdit has been installed. This sample CCF is called
default.ccf and it contains the factory default configuration loaded in your Pronto. Load this
CCF to start with the factory default CCF. See How do I load a configuration from a CCF
into ProntoEdit? for instructions on how to load a CCF into ProntoEdit.
Some things to note about the default CCF:
•The panels underneath HOME have buttons without a label or an
action. These buttons are used by your Pronto to put in aliases to
devices.
•The list of devices contains many devices whose names are displayed
between round brackets ( ). These are device templates. Templates
don’t appear in Pronto’s device menu, but when you add a new device
on the Pronto, these are the devices you can select from.
If you use ProntoEdit instead of your Pronto to add new devices, you can
remove all templates. This speeds up saving and loading and leaves more
room in your Pronto’s memory for ’real’ devices (be sure not to overwrite
default.ccf so you can always get the templates back).
How do I open a panel view?
1. Find the name of the panel you want to open in the tree view on the
left side of the ProntoEdit window. Click the next to DEVICES or
MACRO GROUPS to display the list of all devices or macro groups.
2. Click the to the left of HOME, or a device or macro group name,
to display the list of all its panels.
3. Double-click the name of the panel you want to open.
A panel view for that panel will open in the area on the right side of
the ProntoEdit window.
Closing a panel view will not undo any changes made to that panel view. A
panel view is merely a view on the current configuration, and any changes to it
are immediately incorporated into the current configuration.

See How do I create a macro? for information on how to assign more than one single IR code
to a button.
How do I assign an IR code to a direct-access or
left/right key?
The Pronto has two kinds of key definitions: global and per-device. Whenever there is no per-
device definition (or an empty per-device definition), the global definition is used. There is only
one global definition per key, but there is a per-device definition per key for every device and
macro group.
•To assign an IR code to the global definition of a key:
1. Double-click System Properties underneath HOME in the
configuration tree view.
The Pronto system property sheet appears.
2. Select the tab of the key to which you want to assign an IR code,
and proceed with step 4 of How do I assign an IR code to a button?.
•To assign an IR code to the per-device definition of a key:
1. Double-click the Properties item underneath the device or macro
group in the configuration tree view for which you want to assign an

How do I assign a source switch IR code?
1. Double-click the Properties item underneath the device or macro
group in the configuration tree view for which you want to assign a
source switch IR code.
The device or macro group property sheet appears.
2. Select the Action tab and proceed with step 4 of How do I assign an
IR code to a button?.
How do I let a button jump to a panel?
Any button (or key) can jump to any panel (or be a link to that panel). This is a very powerful
feature which allows you to create your own Pronto user interface structure.
1. Open the panel view of the panel with the button to which you want
to assign a ‘jump action’.
2. Double-click the button to which you want to assign a ‘jump action’ or
select a button by clicking it and press the INSERT key.
The button property sheet appears.
3. Select the Action tab.
4. Select the panel to jump to in the Jump drop down list.
There are a couple of special ’panels’ in the Jump drop down list:
•MOUSE MODE switches your Pronto into a mouse mode in which your
Pronto's touch screen acts as a DVX8000 compatible touch pad.
•SCROLL UP scrolls up to the previous panel, exactly like the scroll
button at the top of your Pronto's screen would do.
•SCROLL DOWN scrolls down to the next panel, exactly like the scroll
button at the bottom of your Pronto's screen would do.
Your Pronto has to be updated to APP V4.4 or later in order for SCROLL UP
and SCROLL DOWN to work (panel 3 of Setup on your Pronto displays version
information). Trying to use these ’jumps’ on a Pronto with an older application
will result in a crash. Please refer to How do I update the software in my Pronto?
for details on how to update.
How do I move a panel?
1. Select the panel you want to move in the tree view on the left side of
the ProntoEdit window.
2. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the panel to its new
location.
If you drop a panel on another panel, it will be inserted before the
panel you drop it on.
If you drop a panel on HOME, a device or a macro group, it will be
appended to the list of panels of HOME, that device or that macro
group.
Alternatively, move the selected panel up or down its current list by
holding down a CTRL button while using the cursor UP or DOWN
key.

How do I add a panel?
1. Select a panel, HOME, or the device or macro group to which you
want to add a panel
2. Click in the toolbar or select Add Panel from the Panel menu.
If a panel is selected, the newly added panel is inserted just before
the selected panel.
A newly added panel has the default contents of a home, device or macro
group panel. To add an empty panel, hold down a SHIFT key while adding the
panel.
How do I move a device or macro group?
1. Select the device or macro group you want to move in the tree view
on the left side of the ProntoEdit window.
2. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the device or macro group
to its new location.
If you drop a device or macro group on another device or macro
group, it will be inserted before the device or macro group you drop it

GROUPS, it will be appended to the list of devices or macro groups.
Alternatively, move the selected device or macro group up or down
its current list by holding down a CTRL button while using the cursor
UP or DOWN key.
Devices and macro groups are essentially equal. It is merely its location,
underneath DEVICES or underneath MACRO GROUPS, which makes a
device a device and a macro group a macro group. You can move a device
from DEVICES to MACRO GROUPS to turn that device into a macro group,
and vice versa.
How do I copy a device or macro group?
1. Select the device or macro group you want to copy in the
configuration tree view.
2. Press CTRL + C or select Copy from the Edit menu to copy the
selected device or macro group into ProntoEdit’s clipboard.
