Macros in BricxCC

Post by timpattinson »

Does anyone know about macros in BricxCC?
What language are they programmed in?
What are their capabilities?
note: i don't mean #define, i mean macros in the IDE
Thanks,

I would guess that the vast majority of people know very little about macros in the BricxCC IDE. It's kind of sad and I have been tempted to remove the macro recorder/editor feature from the IDE. The macro language is just a simple script of commands you type in the editor - no variables, looping, or stuff like that. If you look at the keystroke editor in the Preferences dialog you can see the list of commands. They also should show up in a code completion tool (I think) within the macro editor form that you can access when editing a macro.
