BlueZone Macros

Playing a Macro

BlueZone users may record mouse and keyboard events and save the results to a disk file for later playback. The process of playing back the resulting file is called Playing a Macro.

To playback a macro recording:

1. From the BlueZone MenuBar select Macro:Play.  If using BlueZone’s default settings, the Display Session will enlarge to occupy the entire screen and the Play Macro file dialog will display.

2. Select a previously recorded macro file from the Play Macro file dialog and click the Open button.

3. Once the Macro file is open, BlueZone will begin playing the Macro.

NOTE  During Macro playback, all mouse and keyboard events performed by the user will be ignored by Windows.  This interruption of mouse and keyboard input will continue until the macro is completed.

Recording and playing BlueZone macros is system wide (i.e., the macro is not limited to just the BlueZone application but can be used to run other applications as well).  However, reliability within a MS-DOS shell is questionable.

Some things to consider when using a Macro:

• Because window position is sometimes critical to having a macro playback successfully, BlueZone can be configured to automatically maximize its main window during recording and playing.

SEE Macro Property Sheet

• If playing a macro file does not produce the desired results, try playing the macro at a slower rate.

• Macro playback can be aborted by simultaneously pressing the Ctrl-Break or the Ctrl-Alt-Del key combinations.
