Visual Studio 2008 macro only works from the Macro IDE, not the Macro Explorer
- by Cat
Edit: Creating a new module in the same VSMacros project fixed the problem.
The following macro only works if I open the Macro IDE from Visual Studio and run the macro from there.
It'd be much more useful if I could just right click the macro from the Macro Explorer from my Visual Studio instance.
I must be doing something obviously wrong, but I've never worked with VS macros before. The MessageBox does not appear in either case.
