I am implementing a CD jukebox that, now, has some 200 CDs in it. I have an Excel database of all the CDs in four fields: disc#, Category, artist, album title

So not to create 200+ buttons! I created one panel with ten buttons and implemented a simple scroll where each page down/up refreshes the ten button labels. Further I use tabs to separate the categories to allow the user to easily filter.

Right now I use an array[1..200] that holds artist + title as a string and this array is used to refresh the list. The cursor up/down buttons allow the user to navigate the list - i.e. highlight one item at a time.

What's not clear to me is how to implement sending out the correct IR (disc# + "OK") depending on what's highlighted. I can put the disc# field in a parallel array to reference but I don't think you can send IR from PS.

I have novice++ programming skills and I'd like some suggestions on how to proceed.

Thanks!
