Calling Macros by Macros
This example shows how macros triggered by other macros can have different results.
- Create two Macros as shown below:
Macro 1
Lock | No | Name | Command | Wait | Enabled | AddToCmdl | Execute |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | MacroLine 1 | Macro 2; Echo "Macro 1 Line 1 - Trigger Macro 2" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes | |
2 | MacroLine 2 | Echo "Macro 1 Line 2" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes | |
3 | MacroLine 3 | Echo "Macro 1 Line 3" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes | |
4 | MacroLine 4 | Echo "Macro 1 Line 4" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes | |
5 | MacroLine 5 | Echo "Macro 1 Line 5 - Last" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes |
Macro 2
Lock | No | Name | Command | Wait | Enabled | AddToCmdl | Execute |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | MacroLine 1 | Echo "Macro 2 Line 1" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes | |
2 | MacroLine 2 | Echo "Macro 2 Line 2" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes | |
3 | MacroLine 3 | Echo "Macro 2 Line 3" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes | |
4 | MacroLine 4 | Echo "Macro 2 Line 4" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes | |
5 | MacroLine 5 | Echo "Macro 2 Line 5 - Last" | Follow | Yes | No | Yes |
- Tap Macro 1. As a result, all lines except line 5 of macro 2 are executed.
- Disable lines 3 and 4 of Macro 1. As a result, Lines 1, 2, and 5 of Macro 1 are executed and Lines 1 and 2 of Macro 2 are executed.
Macros triggered by other macros in this way will also stop when the first macro stops. In order to overcome this, Call Macro X command should be used.
