Running mouse macros from FSUIPC client DLL

[Mike Butler]

As the title really - is it possible to trigger a mouse macro from the FSUIPC client DLL? I've been through the documentation and can't see any way to do this but hopefully I'm missing something obvious!

Yes you can. There isn't an easy helper method in the DLL, but it's just a matter of writing a string to 0x0D70. See the offsets list (FSUIPC4/5 Offsets Status.pdf) for the details of what to write.

As this is a write-only offset, I recommend declaring the offset as write-only and placing it in it's own group. Then you can process just that group.

Something like this:

        private Offset<string> macroRequest = new Offset<string>("macro", 0x0D70, 40, true);

        private void fireMacro(string macroRequestString)
        {
            this.macroRequest.Value = macroRequestString;
            FSUIPCConnection.Process("macro");
        }
