XGedUpdateMacroAction

In This Topic

Updates macros.
It can be passed the full path of a project. When project is not opened, this action opens it and closes it automatically.

Parameter	Description
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 when called from a command line). If not given, last used scheme name is used.
AutoAssignLastUsedRecord	Applies the last used record for several placeholders automatically (optional), overwrites value of scheme.
NewVariant	Allows replacement of one macro variant to another variant of same macro.

Remarks

If no path is passed, action takes selected object in GED. Object can be a macrobox or an object of macrobox.
Alternatively, an object can be passed by a special DMBaseHandleContext.
This object can be also a macrobox, an object of macrobox or a project.

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);
