Important
Starting with BlueZone version 5.1, the ability to record and playback BlueZone Macros has been removed from the BlueZone
menu bar. However, this feature is still available for those customers who would like to make this feature available to their
end users. If the
Macro menu item does not appear on your BlueZone menu bar, please contact the BlueZone administrator your company or organization.
BlueZone Macros differ from greatly from what other emulators call macros. BlueZone Macros are recorded and played back using
a Windows API function that records key strokes as well as mouse movements. The recording of keystrokes and mouse movements
are system wide and not limited to BlueZone functions.
Advantages

Macros are easy for end users to record and play back. |
|

Macros can play keystrokes and mouse movements outside of the BlueZone interface allowing it to execute other programs through
a mouse click or type in other applications.
|
Disadvantages
|
• |
Typing within a host session is timing dependent and not keyboard lock state aware. Slow host response time could result
in the Macro running during a locked keyboard state.
