Macro code having no effect

[jmarkp]

We're hosting the XMAX control (v. 6.0.0.159) via a Windows Form Host in a WPF application and it's mostly working fine.

I'm trying to write a macro to modify the paste behaviour, so I'm using On_Document_Before_DropText

The code is definitely being parsed, because if I introduce a JavaScript syntax error (missing a closing ')') then an error message pops up to that effect when I paste text.

However the code itself doesn't seem to be having any effect. Am I doing anything wrong?

Here's my .mcr file:

[code]


var Application = new ActiveXObject(“XMWrap.XMApplication”);
var Documents = new ActiveXObject(“XMWrap.XMDocuments”);
var ActiveDocument = new ActiveXObject(“XMWrap.XMActiveDocument”);
var Selection = new ActiveXObject(“XMWrap.XMSelection”);
var ResourceManager = new ActiveXObject(“XMWrap.XMResourceManager”);
]]>[/code]

Interestingly, if I rename Alert to Alrt no error message gets thrown, but if I remove the [code]var ActiveDocument = new ActiveXObject(“XMWrap.XMActiveDocument”);[/code] line above it I do get a 'null object' error.

More information from more digging.

If I compile the On_Document_Before_DropText script into an XAC using XMetal Developer in Visual Studio then the script gets run. It's when I just add it manually to the MCR file that it doesn't get run. Very strange…

This seems to have solved my problem, thank goodness 🙂
