"smart object" using .vba macros

[Bosselga]

Hello,

in the smart object tab I cannot edit macros as it is possible in the main project. The VBA macros tool seems to be available but no way, to import or edit it, is available.


Please inform me about the way I can edit vba code in the "smart objects".

Thanks
Gaétan

Hey Gaétan!

You are trying to link VBA macros at the Smart Object Templates but since it is not possible to define a macro within the Smart Object Template itself (as for these macros you need to have them in the list as shown below, Screenshot1) you cannot select the macros there.



There is however a workaround: you can release the desired VBA macro property from the property list of the element to the Smart Object Template. If the element is part of a symbol you need to release the property first to the symbol and then to the Smart Object Template (Screenshot2-Screenshot4).




When creating an Smart Object at the project you can then select the VBA macros from the project directly at the Smart Object (Screenshot5).


I hope this helps you out
