    OCLC Connexcion Macro Mini tutorial

    Writing Simple OCLC Connexion Client Macros


    Mini-tutorial
    Before you begin, decide which repetitive task you will be automating with
    your macro. Then, follow the steps below to create your macro.

    Step 1: next
    Select Tools, Macros, Manage

    Step 2: prev next


    Click the New Book button
    Step 3: prev next
    Type a name for your new macro book.
    Step 4: prev next
    With the new macro book name highlighted, click on the Record button.
    Step 5: prev next
    Type a name and a description for your new macro. You can skip entering a
    description, but you must enter a name. (Keep the name short, no spaces or
    punctuation.)
    Step 6: prev next
    Go through all the steps you would normally go through in the repetitive
    task. You can even begin by logging in and searching for a record.

    When you have completed the steps in the repetitive task, click the red
    macro Stop button.

    Step 7: prev next


    To see the syntax of your new macro, select Tools, Macros, Manage again.
    Then, with your macro name highlighted, click Edit

    You will see how your macro is constructed. The lines shown here are the
    only lines you always need in a macro.
    You will also see other lines which the macro recorded and which will tell the
    computer what you want it to do when you run your macro.

    Step 8: prev next


    To run your macro:

    Select Tools, Macros, Manage

    Then, with your macro name highlighted, click Run.


    Step 9: prev

    You can make running your macros easier by assigning them to keys. You can
    assign macros to keys two different ways.

    One way is to assign macros to keys using the Tools, Options method. If you
    use this method, the assigned keys will remain assigned unless you change
    them. To see steps for assigning your macros to keys this way click here.

    OR ... you can create a logon macro and add the following line of code for
    each macro you want to assign to a key.

    Sub Main
    dim CS as object
    set CS = CreateObject("Connex.Client")
    CS.Logon "", "", ""
    CS.AssignMacroToKey "F3", "YourMacroBook.mbk!YourMacroName",
    True
    End Sub

    If you use this method, you must run your logon macro to assign the macros
    to the keys. The word "True" in the line above causes your macro key
    assignment to override the default assignment for the key.

    Wasn't that simple?

    Of course, you can do more. For instance, you can create variables the
    simple way ...
