Application.RecordMacro method (Excel)

Records code if the macro recorder is on.

Syntax

expression.RecordMacro (BasicCode, XlmCode)

expression A variable that represents an Application object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
BasicCode	Optional	Variant	A string that specifies the Visual Basic code that will be recorded if the macro recorder is recording into a Visual Basic module. The string will be recorded on one line. If the string contains a carriage return (ASCII character 10, or Chr$(10) in code), it will be recorded on more than one line.
XlmCode	Optional	Variant	This argument is ignored.

Remarks

The RecordMacro method cannot record into the active module (the module in which the RecordMacro method exists).

If BasicCode is omitted and the application is recording into Visual Basic, Microsoft Excel will record a suitable Application.Run statement.

To prevent recording (for example, if the user cancels your dialog box), call this function with two empty strings.

Example

This example records Visual Basic code.

Application.RecordMacro BasicCode:="Application.Run ""MySub"" "
