how to DELETE source code macro?

[ElectroLund]

Somehow, I've managed to record a source code macro and now I can't delete it!  Worse, I added a key macro to it which I (naturally) keep hitting by accident.

Worser, I can't remove this macro!  The option is grayed out.  I also can't remove the keyboard shortcut assigned to this.  What am I missing here?

Right-click on the macro name and select Remove. Change Key to change the assigned shorcut key.

I tried that first thing.  For some reason those options are all grayed out on "temporary macros" on my 2010 CVI install.

My workaround was to record a new temp macro with minimal, non-destructive instructions.  Notice my new listing of macros (move mouse, etc.).

Right, I didn't focused that it was the temporary macro. It appears as if the temporary macro cannot be deleted, so your solution to fill it with harmless instructions appears the right way to go.

Since every time you record a temporary macro you overwrite previous content you can simplify the macro by recording one instruction only.

If you don't want to keep those fake steps indefinitely. you can get rid of the temporary macro altogether by modifying the registry.

After you exit CVI, run 'regedit', navigate to the path I've highlighted in red below (except that you should replace 13.0 with 10.0, if you're using CVI 2010) and then delete every value except for Macro000Name, as shown in the picture:

Thanks, Luis.  But I think this qualifies for a feature suggestion?  There needs to be a way to delete these from inside CVI.  As in my case, I had inadvertantly recorded some macro commands that were destructive if played on accident!
