Macro recording in OODraw

[Dirk Bock]

Hi,

I want to record a macro in OODraw as a starting point for a little bit of programming. Sadly, the Extras > Macro > Record Macro command is inactive. In OOWrite and OOCalc it is available and works. What could be the problem - or is Macro Recording not available in Draw?

Regards

As far as I know it is not available...

Maybe try asking in the Macro section of the board about what it is you want to do, and get a start at it that instead

Thanks for the info. So it's not a problem with my system or some settings of my installation, but a bug^H^H^H feature.

I don't know why not - same is true for the Base module - no macro recording.

The macro recorder in Calc and Writer records the most simple input and some point-and-click actions. In many cases you get the same dialog as you get as a user. Macro recorder uses the so called dispatch framework. If you are familiar with MSAccess: It is roughly the same as recording doCommand(command_number).
