<Build Sequence>

You can use the <Build Sequence> command to build a sequence that isn't accessed from another panel or whose topic doesn't appear in an access window, such as a help sequence called directly by your application to provide context-sensitive help.

<Build Sequence> sequenceName, [ seqResID ]

sequenceName

A string identifying the name of a defined sequence (that is, a sequence defined with the <Define Sequence> and <End Sequence> commands).

seqResID

A resource ID to be assigned to this sequence. Use a resource ID greater than 2000. This parameter is optional and, if it's not provided, Guide Maker assigns a resource ID to the sequence.

DESCRIPTION

The <Build Sequence> command compiles the specified sequence and stores it as a resource in the guide file. Your application can directly invoke a sequence built by the <Build Sequence> command by specifying its resource ID in the sequenceID parameter of the AGOpenWithSequence function.

EXAMPLES

<Build Sequence> "name of sequence", 2001
