Anyone know how to retrieve the full pathname of the currently active profile file from a macro?

I'ld like to be able to share/update some settings from within a private section in the profile with an external executable...

You could use the exec.macroprofilename; variable, but it only gives the name of the profile.
You could also use the Application.StartupPath.ToString(); to get the path of the UCCNC, so you could edit them together.

So I tried a very simple macro:

Code: Select all

MessageBox.Show("Macro ID: " + this.macronumber);

MessageBox.Show("Profile Name: " + exec.macroprofilename);

MessageBox.Show("UCCNC Path: " + Application.StartupPath.ToString());


and I get this error:

Code: Select all

So, the "Application.StartupPath.ToString()" works - but the "this.macronumber" and "exec.macroprofilename" does not. (I tried them both as a function (appending "()") and as a variable (as shown))

Am I missing something?
