Re: Need to write a macro for wincvs

Aziz,

I am no expert myself but here is what i do based on the example
macros. Do the following 5 steps in a single .py file and place the
file in the macros folder of wincvs.

1. For each macro i create a class which is based on the Macro base
class, eg.
class MyFirstMacro(Macro):

2. In the constructor i add the macro to the menu, eg.
Macro.__init__(self, "My First Macro", MACRO_SELECTION, 0, "Aziz Macros")

3. Add a 'Run' method to the class. This is called when the wincvs
user selects to execute the macro from the menu, eg.
def Run(self):

4. In the run method, create an instance of the console (if you want
to output messages to the macro user), eg.
console = ColorConsole ()

5. Instantiate your new class by calling the class, eg.
MyFirstMacro()

So the above 5 steps will result in the following:


class MyFirstMacro(Macro):
    def __init__(self):
        Macro.__init__(self, "My First Macro", MACRO_SELECTION, 0,
"Aziz Macros")
    def Run(self):
        console = ColorConsole ()
        # Here you put commands which implement the macro

MyFirstMacro()


You will then do the work in the Run method.
There is a lot more to wrting a useful macro, but you did ask how to
get started :)

hope this helps

cheers
