====== Timecode - Toggle On/Off for particular playback ======

^ description: | Toggle whether the cue list on handle 1 of the current page is enabled for timecode. |
^ remarks: | The original idea was to toggle a cuelist which is identified by its legend - but that's not possible. Greg writes //'I don't think there is a way to do this at the moment. I found a way of toggling a playback based on its location but it uses the current page, you could use the Playbacks window instead (which would be "PlaybackWindow").'// |

===== Explanation =====

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to [[macros:formats_and_syntax#xml_format|Formats and syntax]]

  * ''Handles.SetSourceHandle("Playbacks", 0)'' makes the playback 1 the source handle
  * ''Playbacks.Timecode.ToggleEnabled.Handle(Handles.SourceHandle)'' toggles the Timecode.Enabled setting of this handle - this is the 'Connected Cuelists' toggle button in the Timecode menu
  * ''Handles.SetSourceHandleFromHandle(null)'' empties the source handle property.

===== How to use it =====

  * [[macros:deploying|Make this macro available]]- 
  * create a cuelist on playback 1
  * open the ''[Timecode]'' menu
  * go to ''[Connected Cue Lists]'' - the button ''[Cue List Playbacks[1]]'' is inactive
  * <Exit> (the macro doesn't run as long as we are in this menu)
  * fire the macro
  * go to ''[Connected Cue Lists]'' - the button ''[Cue List Playbacks[1]]'' is now active
