Macro/Module Paths

Macro/module paths are typically file paths. However, it is sometimes useful to work with macros/modules that are not stored as files. A macro/module path is of the form:

C#
Copy
[*[*]]path[*]
Part Description
'*' Paths that being with '*' are non-file system macro/modules. The application provides the methods for reading and writing these files. Paths that begin and end with '*' are hidden from the IDE. User's can't step into or otherwise inspect the contents.
'**' Paths that begin with '**' are non-file system modules. The application provides the methods for reading and writing these files. Running an event-driven module loads it using LoadModule.
path This is the identity of the macro/module.

Example
Call the public sub called DoIt in TEST.BAS:
Copy
using (Module module = basicIdeCtl1.ModuleInstance("TEST.BAS", false))
{
    module.Call("DoIt");
}
