Hi.

I am a longtime user of Dragon and former software engineer.  I have been writing macros and utilities for my personal use with Dragon for quite some time and have amassed a lot of useful stuff.  I have been wanting to share what I have with the community for quite some time and finally have managed to put it all on GitHub with some documentation to help folks figure out how to use it.

Please feel free to take a look at what I have.  If you feel you could benefit from what is there, please feel free to download it and use it.

The code is licensed with the GNU Public License and is made available to you "as is".  I have tried to provide installation instructions and would love to know if folks can get this all to work on their machine, but I do not provide any warranty or guarantees.

As a teaser, I have macros that perform

• line-based editing in editors that don't support select and say

• • a(nother) mouse grid app
• • Click By Numbers app
• • a Memory For Macros utility that lets you save state across macro executions
• • Kill Dragon cleans up after Dragon crashes without having to reboot
• • a utility that highlights the currently active window
• • macros that let you create and use mouse click locations entirely by voice (no need to create separate macros)
• • command record and playback function
• • switch to an app by saying any words in the app title
• • macros for developers wanting to use camel case, under case, etc... 
• • lots of utility functions

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I really want to just get a few of them working as standalones, like camelcase and under case, but they don't seem to work unless I add in all of the dependencies. Any advice for getting these to work on their own without installing every file that gets referenced?

Great library though, thank you for sharing.

Hi wristofdoom!

Probably the easiest thing to do in the long run is to create a C:\Users\Knowbrainer\CommonModules folder and put all the bas files in there.  Then you can simply reference the bas file that contains the function you want in your macro, like

'#Uses "C:\Users\KnowBrainer\CommonModules\utilities.bas"

That way, you don't have to copy anything around and can use any functions you want without extra work and all the references  should work.

There are a few macros that require MemoryForMacros which will take a little more set up, but the instructions are on my GitHub site.  The "camel" and "under case" functions do not need MemoryForMacros, so copying all of the bas files into the new CommonModules ought to do it.

Give it a shot and let me know!

Thanks a lot !

 

I cannnot mange to get these working :

' Save the contents of the clipboard for the current macro run

Public Sub SaveClipboard()

    savedClipboardData = System.Windows.Clipboard.GetDataObject()

End Sub

 

' Restores the previously saved clipboard data for the current macro run

Public Sub RestoreClipboard()

    If Not savedClipboardData Is Nothing Then

        System.Windows.Clipboard.SetDataObject(savedClipboardData)

        savedClipboardData = Nothing

    End If

End Sub

 

I put it all in my own uses reference, to which I added 

 

Imports System.String

Imports System.Collections.Generic

option explicit

 

private Declare Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As System.IntPtr, ByRef lpdwProcessId As Integer) As Integer

 

Public Const CURRENT_WINDOW_HANDLE_VALUE = "Menus.CurrentWindowHandle"

Public Const CURRENT_PROCESS_VALUE = "Menus.CurrentProcess"

 

Dim jiraUrl = "https://mc10inc.atlassian.net/browse/"

 

' Location for saving settings in registry

' Starting location is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ VB and VBA Program Settings

Dim registryAppName = "..\Douglas Parent\KBCommands"

Dim registrySaveCommand = "SaveCommand"

Dim registryCommandName = "CommandName"

dim registryCommandValues = "CommandValues"

Dim savedClipboardData As Object ' Only saves during a single macro run

 

But I needed to comment it in my editor, otherwise I got an error message.

 

What did I miss, please ? 

 

Thanks

DicDoc,

Glad to see people are using (or trying to use) the macros!

What error message are you seeing?  Also please provide the contents of the macro itself (i.e. the text you enter into the KnowBrainer Command Editor).   Thanks.
