Macro Button

The Macro Button displays a  button on the user form that when clicked will run a macro.

The name of the macro to launch is set in the Macro Name property.

When using an Excel based project the macro can be VBA code that exists in a module in the VB project of the excel workbook assigned to the Excel based project.

When using a DriveWorks project there are 2 options available for writing macros:

  1. Use pre-defined tasks, applied to a specification macro (See  Specification Macros).
  2. Write the macro using the DriveWorks SDK. See How To: Obtain The DriveWorks SDK.

The value must equal the name given to a macro that exists in the project; for example:

"MyMacro"

When the form control is applied the name entered will display as the caption for the form control. This can be changed by selecting the Text property.
