+Macros 3.5 (September, 2005)


  • New component: Active Desktop.
  • New macro: Macros_EvaluateSelectedText (hot-key Alt+I).
    This macro evaluates selected text from the editor with evaluate() function. If the result of evaluation is number, string or date - it is shown within wait window, otherwise (if result value is array or object) - it is shown in tree view mode with the help of Info Center plug-in within Memory view dialog.
  • New macro: Macros_CommentAndCopy (hot-key Alt+3).
    This macro copies selected text from the Editor, comments it and then pastes it right after the commented block. You can edit it without need to care about the consequences of this editing, because any time you can return to the commented block of code, if something goes wrong. Such a convenient solution was advised by Lloyd Grant, our registered user.
  • New macro: Macros_ToggleActiveDesktop (hot-key Alt+A).
    This macro allows switching off/on Active Desktop.
  • New: Toolbar position is now being saved between launches of VFP environment. +Macros toolbars now remember not only their docking position, but also position relatively to each other and other system toolbars.
  • Improved: Macros_AdjustComments, Macros_AdjustAssignments, now these macros do not just convert tabs into spaces, they take settings from the Editor preferences. Special thanks to Lloyd Grant!
  • Fixed: error with reestablishment of position in macro at startup.
  • Fixed error of launching the macros dialog with option set oleobject off
  • Fixed: From now on Macros execute engine ignores commands of memory clean: clear all, clear memory. Previous versions crashed while processing them.
  • Fixed: some errors in Info Center, connected with the call of filter designer in LOCATE, COUNT and SUM dialogs.
  • Fixed: Info Center crashed when SQL Select query (with placing results into the current cursor) parameters were changed.
