macro order

Post by just4fn »

I know I have read this somewhere, but I cant seem to find it. What order are the the nested macros run? does it check check keymove 1st then macro or macro then keymove?
thanks, just4fn

I can't even guess what that is asking.

That's a very different question, with a fairly complex answer.

Non extender, outside a macro: Always looks for keymove first, then macro.

Non extender, inside a macro: Only looks for keymove, not macro.

Extender, inside or outside of macro: Looks for both together, finding whichever is physically first in memory. Certain operations in IR.exe will rearrange memory so all keymoves are before all macros, so after such an operation a keymove would be found first. But if you just define a keymove in IR when you already have the macro defined and you don't do anything to reset the sequence, the macro would be found first (so the keymove would never be found).

Thanks for the answer. You answered the question I was asking. I didn't know quite know how to ask it, as you replied. Thanks again, Doug
