Need help figuring out how to get the buttons to turn on and stay on when I press them. They are currently in a flash mode and I can't find where to change that.

Also, I just wanted to make clear that the switches themselves are not in flash mode under the menus. The buttons on the midicon will not lock.
You want a toggle? one press on then one press off?
Definitely. Essentially I want a switch that turns all my lights white to be button #1 on the first page and stay on until I turn it off.
I actually found the way to fix it but is there a way to change the default so I don't have to go through and change every single buttons attributes.
what is currently flashing? Just switches or scenes? switches flash by default. Scenes should not.
but do this, right click the button on the midi con map on the program and in the midi command settings window select trigger level. There are 4 options on the left and then the same 4 on the right. The left is inactive level the right is outside active level. Make the inactvie level on/off and make the outside active level none. That should make the switch toggle. Let me know how it goes.

Yea thats what I realized after I originally posted. Is there a way to change the defaults for those to On/Off for Inactive and none for Outside Active instead of On and On? I'm about to have to set up the midi pretty similarly with two different rigs under different save files so I was hoping I could speed the process up instead of having to change each and every button.
Btw thanks for all your help Jingles...You've definitely been more than helpful.
No, got to do them all individually.....
We only make one default, and it just gets too complicated if we go and try to make something else a default. you know some people want "this", some people want "that" so we just pick a default and then you guys modify it. It's not that hard. Besides don't you appreciate your work more after you put more work into it?
Sincerely,

Oh definitely. Its very simple. Just time consuming right before a surprise tour, that needs two different setups, and you didn't know you had to program until two nights before 
Haha. Ya. Sorry dude. In the words of Rob Scheinder from water boy "YOU CAN DO IT!!"
