How do I get a button on the 3000 to stay on the "executing" or "wait" pressed state while it spits out IR codes. Mine simply changes back to the unpressed state for a few seconds while finishing the macros.

If you are asking about a button that does a long macro, at the first of the macro make a jump to a page that says "Please Wait" or something like that, and at the end of the macro put a jump to the page you want to end up on. This way the "Please Wait" page will show until the macro is done executing. Remember the extra page jumps will add total playtime to your macro.

I think he means the "pressed" state of the bitmap. When a button is sending codes, the pressed bitmap has to stay visible until the button finishes sending the codes. This is not happening. When you press the button, the "pressed" state of the button changes to "unpressed" state even if the codes are not finished sending.

I'd say that should be a change they strongly consider making.

Okay, I really hadn't thought much about that, but you guys got my interest up...
If a button has a link to an IR code or macro the the pressed state just kinda blinks on and then off.

If a button has a page jump and you just tap the button the pressed state again blinks on and then off, but if you give the button a very slight hold time with you finger then the pressed state stays on the screen until the jump occurs.

I guess the jump to "wait" page is a bit of a fix, but the 2000 worked great at holding the 'pressed' state while spitting out the macro and making the jump. I suppose this is yet another fix we need to see on the 3000.
