Macro: How to record actions inside another scripts GUI?

chroma123 — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 11:07:59 GMT

Hi! I am trying to automate things a little bit in our office with running a few batch scripts.

I use the macro recorder to record actions, but this one it involves a visit inside another script that is opened up from a toolbar button. I then need the macro script to record actions performed inside that script's GUI, else it's useless. How can I do this?

If the script is editable (i.e. .ms or .mcr, not .mse), you can try adding the with macroRecorderEmitterEnabled on context to the part of the script that you want to record in action. It's not a universal solution, depends highly on what the script is doing, but worth a try.

Hello @chroma123,

I wanted to check in and see if the helpful post by @Swordslayer answered this question for you. If you need further help, I would be happy to move this thread to the programming forum to see if you get another answer there. Scripting questions of this level and magnitude are a bit outside of my wheelhouse but I can transfer this if you'd like.

Best Regards,
