Newcomer with IS and question about click bars

My wife and I play Everquest. I play 2 characters on my pc (tank and healer). She plays 3 characters, 2 on her pc (dps) and 1 on our laptop (enchanter). While in a group I mainly have to heal my tank and occasionally others in the group (very rare). With IS I have been able to setup my characters in a window layout I like and setup a follow me command when clicking my middle mouse button. After reading about click bars I wanted to try one out but honestly I am a bit lost. Both in creating a click bar to pass commands to my healer and figuring out if it can do what I would like.

When we played WOW awhile back I used an add on called grid, unfortunately I can not find anything like that for Everquest. What I would like to do is create a 5 button vertical click bar that would reside next to or on top of my tanks group window. Each box would respond to a left or right click of the mouse (adding ctrl+ and alt+ left or right click would be awesome if possible). Each click combination would cast a different spell on the character the box resides next to. For example a left click on the box next to my tank (tank being the main screen or slot 1) would tell my healer to cast a full heal. I am familiar with the EQ macros and understand I may need to setup a few on my healer to get this working. Is it possible to create a click bar that can do this? If so could someone start me off please. I have created 2 "test" characters in EQ that I have been experimenting with using IS. So far I have been able to create a new click bar but honestly I am a bit lost after that. If I can get the first click bar box functional, I will be able to do the others.

I apologize ahead of time if there is a video on how to setup click bars or a forum post I may have missed. Please let me know if there is more information I need to provide or anything that may be unclear. Thanks. :D

Have you had any luck with this? I was playing SW:TOR with click heals and loved it. And now I'm trying to get it working in EQ.

I am still working on the setup here and there. Finding some things that I wanted to work one way worked fine but once in game I ended up setting up differently (mainly for my play style). What aspect are you trying to setup?

If you are looking for the healing setup, the first link provided at the top is the one I found most useful for what I wanted and followed almost exactly to setup. In EQ I setup the follow and assist. For healing I use the Extended Target window. This way I can place my characters in the order I want and keep it the same in my other windows. I placed the clickbar and repeater bar on the right 1/3 section of the extended target window character bars. This region is setup when my main character clicks in it my healer will cast their healing spell in their slot 1 spell bar.

Would be happy to put something together on how I did it if you like. Would have to be tomorrow though when I have some time.
