VLA in 2009

In AutoCAD 2006 I had a routine that would take an existing user selection,
filter out just dynamic blocks, then open the properties dialog. This allows
them to change the visibility state but not have to individually select the
dynamic blocks. The issue was that issuing the -vbarun command deselected
the items, so I used (vla-runmacro (vlax-get-acad-object)
"FilterDynamicBlocks")

In 2009 when I try this I get the error "(vla-runmacro
(vlax-get-acad-object) "FilterDynamicBlocks") ; error:
no function definition: VLAX-GET-ACAD-OBJECT". Is this method unsupported,
or is there a reasonable workaround?

I think you may have posted in the wrong group, but
in

any case, it looks like a case of not calling
(vl-load-com)

before trying to use any vlax-* functions.

Thanks Tony,

Oops, wrong group.

Works a treat now, though
size=2>I didn't call (vl-load-com) in 2006; was it loaded by
default?
