The invention provides a configurable control system (300) and method of controlling a graphical user interface (310, 350). The graphical user interface comprises a graphical user interface application (350) installed on a computer (320), and an associated graphical user interface display (310). A configurable hardware panel (380) is connectable to the computer (320). A local application (370) for installation on the computer (320) is adapted to:
(i) learn the function of a particular control of the graphical user interface;
(ii) configure the configurable hardware panel (380); and
(iii) provide communication between the configurable hardware panel (380) and the graphical user interface (310, 350). The invention allows a user to configure a hardware panel, without requiring programming skills. One configurable hardware panel (380) may provide simultaneous control of multiple graphical user interfaces, running on one or more computers. |
