How to run/execute preexisting menu cmds?

[greglentz]

Is there a way in the macro language to call/run an existing menu cmd that you would normally do with a mouse? For a simple example: something like activatemenu(file, open). There are some preexisting menu items in chemstation that I would like to call/execute from a macro. Being able to do so would be simpler/more direct than writing my own macro code to do the same thing.

If there is, then for menu items that open a dialog box for additional user input is there a way to pass appropriate values via the macro to eliminate the user having to enter that information?

Greg,

The command 'SelectFile' might do what you are trying to achieve. Details of this command can be found in C:\Chem32\Core\helpenu\commands.chm
