Q&A

1. I tried to record a macro that added a task item, but nothing was recorded. Why?

   The macro recorder can record only certain events in the IDE. Some items, such as the Task List, are not available.

2. Where can I get more information about macros?

   The Visual Studio .NET SDK has a section on macros, but it's very brief. Do a search in the SDK for DTE, and you'll find all the goodies that pertain to the extensibility objects and macros.
