ProjectName	The full path of project(optional). When project specified by ProjectName is not open, this action opens it and closes it automatically.
SchemeName	Defines a concrete scheme to use (optional). If not given, last used scheme name is used.

Example

Example 1 (selected object in ged)

XGedUpdateMacroAction

Example 2 (Full path of project)

XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:"C:\\My Folder\\MyProject.elk" //absolute
XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:"C:\\My Folder\\MyProject" //absolute without file-extension
XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:"My Folder\\MyProject.elk" //relative to standard-folder
XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:MyProject.elk //relative to standard-folder
XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:MyProject //relative to standard-folder without file-extension

Example 3 (Full path of project, in scripting)

CommandLineInterpreter oCommandLineInterpreter = new CommandLineInterpreter();
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:\"C:\\My Folder\\MyProject.elk\""); //absolute
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:\"C:\\My Folder\\MyProject\""); //absolute without file-extension
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:\"My Folder\\MyProject.elk\""); //relative to standard-folder
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:MyProject.elk"); //relative to standard-folder
bool bRet = oCommandLineInterpreter.Execute("XGedUpdateMacroAction /ProjectName:MyProject"); //relative to standard-folder without file-extension

Example 4 (object passed by context)

StorableObjectContext context = new StorableObjectContext();
context.StorableObject = hProject; //option 1: project
context.StorableObject = aMacroBox; //option 2: macrobox
context.StorableObject = hInstanceFromMacroBox; //option 3: instance of macrobox
new CommandLineInterpreter().Execute("XGedUpdateMacroAction ", context);
