Re: supressin Dialog when calling macros from another macro

dpoburko
Hi All,

Is there a generic method to specify the dialog options in the macro
language for a macro that is called from within another? My current
macro (macroA) calls two of my other macros (macroB & macroC). When I
run macroB independently, the macro recorder shows the code for setting
its parameters along the lines of run(" macroB", "   options...."). When
called  from within macroA, macroB 's dioalog is supressed. When I run
macroC alone, the macro recorder shows the various operations that it
runs, rather than something like " run(" macroC", "   options....").
When called from within macroA, calling macroC opens the macroC dialog box.

My question is, what is the generic method to be able to call a macro
from within another macro and be able to set the called macro's options
via code and supress its dialog box?

I apologize if this has come up before, but I didn't see an answer in
Nabble.

Thanks,
Damon
