Macro Element

Description

The Windows 95/98 Help engine supports over 100 different help macros which can be executed from different points during the use of the Help. The Macro Procedure object is a Help only object and allows a series of macros to be defined in a single macro procedure. These can then be referenced by other objects, such as a Media object, to execute the macros at the required execution points.

The Macro element represents an Author-it Macro Procedure object, and contains all of its properties.
