I tend to use the quick macro recording feature (cntrl-Shift-r) fairly often, but VAX makes it difficult (inserts/removes text etc).

I've seen posts from a year or two ago that say it's on your list of things to do, and maybe it's still just an open issue because the IDE makes it hard for you to hook into the macro recording. But it sure would be nice to be able to record macros again :)

Using VS2008 with windows XP and VAX 1715.

That macro workaround seems to work. I can live with that. Thanks.

Disabling VA when you start recording a macro is still on our list of things to do:

case=724

One of our users posted an interesting workaround which might work for you:

quote:
My workaround is to add following macro in the Macros IDE and bind it to the key I normally use to start/stop recording.

' Wrapper to record a temporary macro. Disables VAX prior to recording as it
' seems to slow down recording substantially.
Sub RecordMacro()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("VAssistX.EnableDisable")
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Tools.RecordTemporaryMacro")
End Sub
