[Solved] Find the exact address of Macro

[Math]

I have hundreds of Macros belonging to a File, which are distributed in many different Modules.

               Do I need to know the exact location (address) of a Macro ?

              for example:

              I want to know the exact path of Macro38 ? that is, the address of the Library and Module containing this Macro38 ?

I need more precise location of the Macro, since I have many Macros distributed in many different modules.

not all macros have Control Button, so I need the Macro Location address, because There is no control button for all macros.

Open the Basic IDE and search for the name of the macro.

greetings mr. Zizi64 ,

                
                 by this procedure, I need to know in advance the name of the module where the macro is ? right ?

                 is there any BASIC command that tells the Macro Path inside the Basic IDE ?

No.
You can search a complete library, 'Standard' most likely.
Having found your macro you can look into the organiser again to see the module where it is contained.
It's a bit better supported in LibO where the Basic IDE has a tool (may be docked) to show the structure of libraries and modules all the time.

I think Lupp is talking about the Object Catalogue... its in OO as well - there's a button in the Standard Toolbar to show it.

Yes, there is; but the panel seems NOT dockable in the AOO.

I talked about a search for the name with F&R. Of course there may be cases where many occurrences are found where the macro is called before the headline of the definition comes in sight. I think it's bearable.
We may also search for "Sub macro38" or "Function macro38" to enhance speed".

sr. Lupp ,

        I'm a new user in LibreOffice, I did not understand with clarity what you wanted to say about: F & R ??
 
        Could you pass me more details of the way up to get to that F & R ??


Thanks a lot for the help

The "F & R" abbreviation means the "Find and Replace" function. All of the applications (Writer, Calc, Draw...) and even the IDE contain this function.

From the menu:
Edit - Find and Replace

You don't need to know the full address of the macro to call it... ie which module its in. OO will find it and run it provided you type the right name.

There will be difficulties if the macro is in a library which hasn't yet been loaded (you need to make sure the library of macros is loaded before you can use the macro). And if you have more than one macro with the same name then the one you expect to be called might not be.

Its best to give meaningful names to macros based on what the macro does... "Macro38" wouldn't be a good choice...

Edit: One thing you could do is create a module that acts as a kind of index for the macros you need to find easily.

Sub macro1B
call macro1
end sub

sub macro2B (parameter1,parameter2)
call macro2 (parameter1,parameter2)
end sub

function macro3B (parameter1,parameter2)
macro3B = macro3 (parameter1,parameter2)
end function

'etc

Many thanks to everyone for the help.
