Running multiple macros one by one

[k-tod]

Hi,
Is it possible in any way to start with a button a run of multiple macros one by one with a delay in VBscript?
I have a panel which is running macros using buttons(with ExecuteCommand),I run 3 separate macros , one standard macro and two VB macros, I was wondering if I can run all of them with the same button.

thanks a lot

Hello,

in PCAN-Explorer you can only run one macro at a time. It will not be possible to start several macros with the same button, or start another macro from inside a macro.

best regards

Hello,thank you for your quick reply

In this case is it possible to do this with a script? I just need to send 2 periodic mesages(order doesn't matter and 6 other messages in a specified order), at the moment i use 3 buttons to execute 2 vb macros for the periodic messages and 1 standard macro for the other 6, and I need to execute them with a single button, could you please help?
thank's

Hello,

the simplest solution will be to put all together in just one macro

Code: Select all

Sub My_sub_01()

  Dim msg

  Set msg = TransmitMessages.Add

  	msg.ID = &H100
	msg.DLC = 3
	msg.MsgType = pcanMsgTypeStandard
	msg.Data(0) = &H20
	msg.Data(1) = &H3A
	msg.Data(2) = &H00

  msg.SendPeriod = 4000
  msg.IsPaused = False

Wait 5000

 Dim msg1

  Set msg1 = TransmitMessages.Add

  	msg1.ID = &H100
	msg1.DLC = 3
	msg1.MsgType = pcanMsgTypeStandard
	msg1.Data(0) = &H3A
	msg1.Data(1) = &H03
	msg1.Data(2) = &H7F

  msg1.SendPeriod = 100

  msg1.IsPaused = False

Wait 500

 Dim msg2

  Set msg2 = TransmitMessages.Add

  	msg2.ID = &H100
	msg2.DLC = 3
	msg2.MsgType = pcanMsgTypeStandard
	msg2.Data(0) = &H20
	msg2.Data(1) = &H00
	msg2.Data(2) = &H03

Hi,

here an example on how to transmit non periodic messages:

Dim msg3

Set msg3 = TransmitMessages.Add

msg3.ID = &H300
msg3.DLC = 3
msg3.MsgType = pcanMsgTypeStandard
msg3.Data(0) = &H11
msg3.Data(1) = &H22
msg3.Data(2) = &H33
msg3.Write 0

msg3.ID = &H400
msg3.DLC = 2
msg3.Data(0) = &H44
msg3.Data(1) = &H55
msg3.Write 0

as far as i know, you can only use one macros at a time. in my own conception, issues might possibly occur if you use multiple macros.

Only one VBS could run in one instance of a PCAN-Explorer. If you use a main loop and call the SUB in a loop, you could also create larger and more complex scripts. But it is a VBS - if you want to build complex GUI, use the available HighLevel API based on PCAN-Basic.
