Different macros on the same event, based on context

Hi guys,

I am trying to control several devices with one single remote. This is what I'd like to do:
-first press a "mode select" button on the remote. This may be one of Receiver, TV, Cable, VCR, etc. This button press would set the appropriate "context" for EventGhost.
-then, when I press "Channel Up", EG would call the Channel Up macro of the currently active context. If I previously have set TV as context then I need "TV Channel Up" macro, while if I have set Cable as context then I need "Cable Channel Up" macro.

What is the proper way of achieving this?

Thanks a lot,
d3

Use Enable Exclusive action to switch between folder. You may also take a look at examples for the Task plug in to use the same button for different programs.
