I'm messing about and have created a macro to run all attached macros.

I started with ISldWorks::RunAttachedMacro method

The macros run as expected but I noticed that multiple copies of the macro were open in the VBA Editor.

I then switched to ISldWorks::RunMacro2 method as I noticed there is the unload after run option but it didn't make any difference.

Seems dodgy to me - or am I missing something?

I get some different results.
persistent launcher:

Code: Select all

Public swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Sub main()
    Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
    UserForm1.Show
End Sub

'with button to launch

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim r As Boolean
    Dim err As Long
    r = swApp.RunMacro("Y:\Downloads\Macro1.swp", "Macro11", "Main")
    'r = swApp.RunMacro2("Y:\Downloads\Macro1.swp", "Macro11", "Main", swRunMacroOption_e.swRunMacroUnloadAfterRun, err)
End Sub

the macro:

Code: Select all

Sub main()
    Debug.Print ("subMacro")
End Sub

If I run with RunMacro2 it seems to properly unload from the side panel. RunMacro leaves it there as expected. Might have to do with the content of your child macro, maybe an open file reference or something. What happens if you simplify the launched macro?

Thanks for looking @colt@

I was still in the testing stage so my code was almost identical to yours, except it was a msgbox and a rude word ;p
