Macros.Resume Method

Resumes macro recording if it has been paused. This method should not be used from within a macro.

Namespace:  EnvDTE
Assembly:  EnvDTE (in EnvDTE.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub Resume
'Usage
Dim instance As Macros

instance.Resume()
void Resume()
void Resume()
function Resume()

Remarks

To pause macro recording, use Pause. Resume fails if macro recording has not been paused.

Resume should be used only from within add-ins.

If you invoke Resume in an Add-in while not in macro recording mode, the method does nothing and an "Unspecified error" message occurs.

Examples

public void CodeExample(DTE2 dte, AddIn addin)
{
    // INSTRUCTIONS: Run this code, open a solution, start
    // recording a macro, then connect the add-in containing this code.
    try
    {
        Macros mac = dte.Macros;
        if (mac.IsRecording)
        {
            mac.Pause();
            if (!mac.IsRecording)
                mac.Resume();
            mac.EmitMacroCode("rem Code added by the EmitMacroCode method");
            // Demonstrate these two properties return the same reference.
            bool test = mac.DTE.Equals(mac.Parent);
            if (test) MessageBox.Show("The DTE and Parent property refer to the same object.");
            else MessageBox.Show("The DTE and Parent property do not refer to the same object.");
        }
        else MessageBox.Show("Start a macro recording session and reconnect addin");
    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
