2008

Does anyone know if 2008 will ship with VSTA?

I believe it will not. NDA is over now though so someone who beta tested it a lot should be able to say for certain.

The long-rumoured "Macro Recorder" did not appear in ACAD 2008, and I'll bet it's dependent on VSTA being incorporated into the product. At least, MS promotes that as one of the features of VSTA.

It would appear that it hasn't. Shaan doesn't list the ide as one of the new commands.

So I take it that the VSTA has not been "officially" released? (I don't know a whole lot about it).

Oh, and I believe the NDA release applies to new information, rather than anything learned in the beta program. That kind of question is something that should be answered by the NDA admins, of course.

Nope. Dot net dll's are better anyway - no losing code when
Autocad goes boom...~)

Don't know what happened to the post below...?

No VSTA in 08. Dot net dlls are better - you don't lose code when you crash autocad...~)

Why would you loose code in VSTA if you
crash the host app?

I mean, other than merely if one didn't
bother to save it first.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I always get excited about what I'm doing and forget... I never said I was the brightest bulb...~)

If you mean in apps other than AutoCAD, yup, it's been released, the latest MS Office 2007 suite includes VSTA: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=908415&SiteID=1 (watch for line wrap)

Confusingly enough, to develop "VSTA" code for Office apps but within the VS2005 environment, you need "VSTO": http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5E86CAB3-6FD6-4955-B979-E1676DB6B3CB&displaylang=en
