Screens tab
![The Screens tab of the Advanced Macro Editor](mb_hame_screens_tab.gif)
- A Screen Name list box at the top of the tab
- Three subordinate tabs, labeled General, Description, and Actions
- The Screen Name field at the top of the Screens tab is a list box that contains the names of all the macro screens in the macro.
- The Screen Name field at the top of the General subtab is an input field in which you can type the name that you want to assign to the currently selected screen.
In the Screen Name list box at the
top of the Screens tab, you click the
name of the macro screen that you want to work on (such as Screen1
),
and the AME displays in the subtabs the information
belonging to that macro screen. For example, in Screens tab the list box displays the macro screen
name Screen1
and the subtabs display the information belonging
to Screen1. If the user selected another macro screen name in the
list box, perhaps Screen10
, then the AME would
display in the subtabs the information belonging to macro screen Screen10.
In the Screen Name input field under
the General tab, you type the name
that you want to assign to the currently selected macro screen. A
screen name such as Screenx
,
where x stands for some integer (for
example, Screen1), is a default name that the Macro object gives to
the macro screen when it creates the macro screen. You can retain
this name, or you can replace it with a more descriptive name that
is easier to remember. (When all your macro screens have names such
as Screen3, Screen10, Screen24, and so on, it is difficult to remember
which macro screen does what.)
- The General subtab presents the information stored in the attributes of a <screen> element.
- The Description subtab presents the information stored in the <description> subelement of a <screen> element.
- The Actions subtab presents the information stored in the <actions> subelement of a <screen> element.

By default the Set Recognition limit check box is cleared and the input field is disabled. If you select the check box, then the macro editor sets the default value of the Screens Before Error input field to 100. You can set the value to a larger or smaller quantity. For more information, see Recognition limit.
