Macroname Into Variable

[kermic]

Hi

I'm new to the list and have one question.

Is it possible to get the name of a macro into a text variable (T1)?

 

Like this: Macro name = Macro1

 

 

Switch (T1)

 

Case: Macro1

 

Text Box Display: T1 = Macro1

 

Case: Macro

 

Text Box Display: T1 = Macro

End Case

 

End Switch

Welcome kotto!

 

The command you want is within the Variable Set From Misc dialog.

Set Variable %T1% to "Name of Current Macro"

Is there any to have a shortkey place the shortkey itself into a variable?

 

For example, if the shortkey is "xyz", I'd like the first command in the macro to be:

 

"Set Variable %T1% to "Current Shortkey"

 

So that after the command, %T!% will equal "xyz".

 

Tanks,

Unfortunately there is not.

You seem to need a lot of self-referencing in your macros. I have a feeling it may not be necessary.

 

Perhaps you could provide more details about what you're trying to achieve, then we might be able to suggest a different, better way of doing it.
