◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back► ─────Programmer's WorkBench───────────────────────────────────────────────── The Record function toggles macro recording. While a macro is being recorded, PWB displays the letter 'X' on the status bar,and a bullet appears next to Edit Record On. If a menu command cannot be recorded, it is disabled while recording. See: ◄Status Bar► ◄Edit menu, Record On► When macro recording is stopped, PWB assigns the recorded commands to the default macro name Playback. During the recording, PWB writes the name of each command to the definition of playback in the Record window, which can be viewed as it is updated. NOTE: Macro recording in PWB does not record changes in cursor position accomplished by clicking the mouse. Use the keyboard if you want to include cursor movements in a macro. Record («record») Toggles macro recording on and off. Arg <textarg> Record («arg» <textarg> «record») Turns on recording if it is off and assigns the name specified in the text argument to the recorded macro. Turns off recording if it is turned on. Meta Record («meta» «record») Toggles macro recording. While recording, no editing commands are executed until recording is turned off. Use this form of the function to record a macro without modifying your file. Arg Record («arg» «record») Arg Arg <textarg> Record («arg» «arg» <textarg> «record») Arg Arg Meta Record («arg» «arg» «meta» «record») As above but if the target macro already exists, the commands are appended to the end of the macro. Returns True: Recording turned on. False: Recording turned off. Update In PWB 2.00, more menu commands can be recorded than with PWB 1.x. See ◄Edit menu, Set Record► -♦-
