Writing a macro recording program?

[S@njay]

Is it possible to write a Macro recording program to preform user required actions?

I'm looking to program a "windows control bar" where users can record actions they do, such as press play in windows media player, and that action is assigned to a buttong on the "control bar"

I guess VB is best to do such a thing?

What kind of things should i be searching for, what elements would be used to program such a module?

Thanks
