Macro menu

The Macro menu provides options for starting macros, stopping macros and extending the Basic language.

Run

or F5 runs the macro. (If the macro is not active, start it). This command becomes the Continue command when you are in break mode. It resumes running the current macro.

Pause

or ESC stops execution of a macro or module while it's running and switches to break mode. Any statement being executed when you choose this command is displayed in the Code window within the Break Bar. If the application is waiting for events in the idle loop (no statement is being executed), no statement is highlighted until an event occurs.

Some editing changes made in break mode may require you to restart your program for the changes to take effect.

End

terminates the macro or module. This command also clears the Call stack and clears the module level variables. Execution cannot be continued.

Design Mode

Turns design mode on and off per macro or module. Design mode is the time during which no code from the project is running and events from the host or project will not execute. You can leave design mode by executing a macro or using the Immediate window. This function is used to edit the System macro of Passolo.
