new Masterdata().GenerateMacrosFromMacroProject(oTestProject, strWindowMacroDirectory, null, null, true);

// Generate macros with specified strWindowMacroDirectory and strPageMacroDirectory without filter
strWindowMacroDirectory = Path.Combine(m_oDir.FullName, "Test009d_WindowMacroDir");
strPageMacroDirectory = Path.Combine(m_oDir.FullName, "Test009d_PageMacroDir");
new Masterdata().GenerateMacrosFromMacroProject(oTestProject, strWindowMacroDirectory, strPageMacroDirectory, null, true);

// Generate macros with specified strFilterName to default Macros directory
