Title: Please, just a little help to learn Macro programming.
Post by: renenpaz on June 23, 2010, 10:59:44 PM

Hi,

I need to learn how program macros for Mach 3.

I know that exists

1- Macro Programming reference
2-Oem CODEs for Mach 3

I know than for programming Macros in Mach is needed some knowledge of Visual Basic and
Visual Basic Scripts. I studied for about 6 month in 1985, when I was in university Basic
Programming for NEC PC9801, but this is an old story because I was never use anymore.

Recently I downloaded a end user manual containing a Cypress enable, I figure that in this
manual are the same instructions that in VBscripts manuals,
What is CYpress enable?

I have a lot of information  in hands but I don't know how to order for beginnig studies.

I need if you can give me a guide to consecutivelly study all manuals, because a have
 
1-VBasic6.0 course (spanish)
2- VB script course (spanish)
3-manual containing a Cypress ENABLE (english)
4-Macro programming reference (english)
5-OEM codes (english)
6-A Program words for Mach programming. (english)

Just give me a guide for where start and where should I finish, and what is that exactly will I
need for Mach 3 programming.

I know what I need that Mach 3 does for me , but I don't know how to ask  him about it.......

Thanks in advance, sorry my bad english

Regards

Rene

Rene,
Download some macros others have written and study them.  That's how I did it, although I have been programming in VB.net for a while.   Understanding Mach3 was the biggest challenge for me. 

Good Luck,
John Champlain

Rene, you should find a lot right here on this forum, but I also used Google to search for "Mach3 VB scripts".
