Then, open the Programmer’s Toolkit (through Windows Start menu), and expand Emulation to access the C/C++ APIs.topic.

You’ll want to learn PC programming to use the Emulator High Level Language API (EHLLAPI). The API includes function HA_START_PLAYING_MACRO, ‘Start playing macro’, that you will probably want to use. You would then probably use STRPCCMD to call the C/C++ program that you wrote for your PC.

I don’t know of any examples unfortunately.

I suspect that there are far easier ways of doing whatever you need done.
