VB (Not VBA) Addin

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I want to do an addin allowing the user to change special options using a dialog box. I want to add an icon or a menu item to the AutoCAD user interface, which launch my dialog box. How can I do the link between AutoCAD and my little application. Do I have to create an ActiveX dll for that?

Thanks a lot

Have a look at the "startapp" command in Autolisp help.

I'm not positive that the "button syntax" below is correct but it's
something like:

^C^C(startapp "C:/Temp/MyProgram.exe")

or for registered apps:

^C^C(startapp "Notepad.exe")

I think you can also add command line switches to the startapp command to
start notepad (or whatever) and open a specific file, for example.

Yes. Search this ng for "activex" for tips on creating/loading the dll.
