[peter_122]

Hi, I would like to call my WS macro from my C++ code. Could you tell how to do it? Thanks.

You can use the following code snippet to call a macro from C++ code.

Use ShellExecute API to launch Automation Anywhere.

To use this API <windows.h> has to be included.

ShellExecute(AppHandle,"open",(LPCTSTR)WMExePath,( LPCTSTR)pstrMessage,NULL,1);

AppHandle : This is the Handle of the calling Application window.

“open” : It is a Keyword which is used to open the EXE

WMExePath : The Path where Workspace Macro Exists.

Eg. WMExePath = “C:\Program Files\Workspace Macro 4.6\Workspace Macro.exe”

pstrMessage : The command line parameter to be passed with the Exe.

Eg. pstrMessage = “C:\\Document and Settings\\User\\My Documents\\Workspace Macro\\My Macros\\mymacro.wksp \\u”

Hope that helps.
