Proton Macro Generator Wizard
This wizard will
generate a set of Macro code statements which can be added to your Proton
project. To learn more about macros see What is a Macro, for the already enlightened,
read on….
The code generated
by the wizard will be determined by the:
Arguments you want to pass in the macro
Code you want to execute the macro
Return value your code might return.
The wizard will also
produce the hint text
code enabling your macro to appear as part of the normal Proton basic command
set.
For a sample of what
the wizard can do see Example Macros.
The wizard will take
you through 3 steps gathering information from you before generating the macro
code. You will then be presented with
the proposed code which you can review or edit.
Once complete you can choose whether to insert it directly into your
project or save it to a file.
Basic instructions
are provided with each step and will, in general, be all you need to complete
the process. You should only need to
refer to the help file in rare instances.
To learn more about
the individual steps see:
Enter Routine to call and Return Variable
Review and Edit the Macro Code
Limitation - The Macro Generator Wizard will produce the
framework of a Macro which will pass data to a routine and/or return data from
a routine. You, as the software
developer, will still need to write the routine or add additional Macro code
where applicable.
