Best Way to Run a Macro from a Dialog?

[JimmyK]

Hello,
I am building a Dialog with buttons to log me in to a VPN. I have the VPN Macro created called "Login to VPN". This is working correctly. I have a Dialog with a button like so:

object btnVPNRCx: tMSButton
Left = 56
Top = 62
Width = 153
Height = 35
Caption = 'RCx Rules'
TabOrder = 0
DoBrowse = False
BrowseStyle = fbOpen
end

AddDialogHandler>RCxMenu,btnVPNRCx,OnClick,DoVPNRCx

SRT>DoVPNRCx
MessageModal>This is doing the VPN
END>DoVPNRCx

How do I call my Macro or should I create an .exe and call the .exe? If so, what is the syntax for that?

Thank you,
Jim

Some will say to use the macro or the include functions or even to place the script in a subroutine within your dialog script. My choice would be to run the script using the RunProgram function.

Code: Select all

SRT>DoVPNRCx
  //So the script doesn't stop and wait for Login to VPN to finish.
  Let>RP_Wait=0
  //So that you can see windows open
  Let>RP_Windowmode=1
  RunProgram>Path\Login to VPN.scp
  //           OR
  //RunProgram>Path\Login to VPN.exe
END>DoVPNRCx
