Manage Macros Dialog Box
Use the Manage Macros dialog box to rename, delete, and assign shortcut keys to macros. You also can view the steps that make up a macro in the Manage Macros dialog box. Select Tools»Source Code Macros»Manage to open this dialog box.
The Manage Macros dialog box contains the following items:
- Macros—Lists available macros. Right-click this list to use the following options:
- Change Key—Assigns a shortcut key to the selected macro. This option opens the Change Key dialog box. This option is not available for the Temporary Macro. You must first save the temporary macro as a permanent macro before you can reassign a shortcut key.
Note You can assign your macro a shortcut key that is already in use by LabWindows/CVI. However, if the macro is loaded into an instance of LabWindows/CVI that uses that shortcut key for the LabWindows/CVI environment, the shortcut key for the macro is removed. - Rename—Assigns a new name to the selected macro.
- Remove—Deletes the selected macro.
- Change Key—Assigns a shortcut key to the selected macro. This option opens the Change Key dialog box. This option is not available for the Temporary Macro. You must first save the temporary macro as a permanent macro before you can reassign a shortcut key.
- Macro Steps—Displays the series of steps in the selected macro.
- Load—Opens the Load Macros from File dialog box, which you can use to specify a .ini file containing saved macros. Loading the .ini file adds the macros to the Manage Macros dialog box.
- Save—Saves the permanent macros currently defined in the Manage Macros dialog box. The macros are saved to a .ini file. This option does not save temporary macros.
