<custom> element
The <custom> element allows you to invoke a custom Java™ program from inside the <actions> element of a macro screen.
Here is an overview of the process:
- Suppose that you have a Java™ program that you want to invoke as an action during the processing of a macro screen's <actions> element.
- In the Macro Editor, add the following line to the <actions>
element at the location at which you want to invoke the custom Java™ program:
<custom id="'MyProgram1'" args="'arg1 arg2 arg3'" />
- Follow the instructions in the MacroActionCustom class. You will create a class that implements MacroCustomActionListener. The execute() method will be called with an event when the macro runtime performs the <custom> action in step 2.
