Hi :)
I only know that the best documentation appears to be Andrew Pitonyak's
guide;
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Other_Documentation_and_Resources#Programmers
I am not sure if that will help for the specific issues you raise but it
might help you get to grips with macros faster or more easily or more
soundly or something.
Hopefully someone else on this list might be able to help with the specific
issues!
Good luck and regard from
Tom :)
