recordReplay

recordReplay(action : Integer;
             options: Integer;
             buffer : String io): Integer;

The recordReplay method of the JadeTextEdit class records or replays keystrokes.

The value of the action parameter must be one of the following new JadeTextEdit class Integer constants.

Class Constant	Description
KMACRO_GETCOMMANDS	Returns the list of available macro commands in the buffer.
KMACRO_GETTEMPORARY	Returns the current temporary macro in the buffer.
KMACRO_PLAYTEMPORARY	Plays the current temporary macro.
KMACRO_PLAYTEXT	Plays the macro text in the buffer without overwriting the current temporary macro.
KMACRO_RECORDSTART	Clears the temporary macro and begins recording keystrokes for the current temporary macro.
KMACRO_RECORDSTOP	Stops recording keystrokes.
KMACRO_SETTEMPORARY	Replaces the current temporary macro with the contents of the buffer. If the value of the options parameter is 1, a syntax check only is done.

The recordReplay method returns zero (0) if no syntax or replay errors occurred; otherwise it returns the positive character offset of the start of the macro line in error. It can also return a negative result value, indicating JADE runtime errors; for example:

• 15650 Macro halted - caret moved outside document

• 15651 Macro halted - no match for find

Embedded macros are not allowed. You cannot record or play another macro when recording is in progress, nor can you record or play another macro while a macro is playing.

Macro replay halts when the cursor is moved outside the document (method source editor pane) limits and when a find command has no match.
