Home Page: Macros
You can use macros to greatly simplify your work in the Visual C++ Developer Studio. For example, you can use a macro to combine several commands, speed up routine editing, or automate a complex series of tasks.
Visual C++ provides two ways to record macros from within the environment. The Quick Macro option captures your actions from a particular session, keeping them available for playback until you record another Quick macro. Regular, or named macros enable you to name, save, and edit the actions you record. Both types of macros use the Visual Basic Scripting Edition language.
