use of handle property (OLE Object)

[GeryKnee]

I don't know if i am in the right forum.

I need help about how to use the handle property to retrieve an object

example

 suppose obj - a line for example is an OleVariant that is associated to the drawing object.

 OH = obj.handle is the unique handle (of type string) of object and can be used to retrieve the object , but

 trying to retrieve it , i use the reference

   SearchObj = Acad.ActiveDocument.ModelSpace.Item(OH)

  the below causes error , that means ModelSpace is the wrong collection the item belongs to

 So, what is the collection in wich i can find the object using handle

Hi,

Has been a lot of time since the last time i did VBA, but I think you can create an AcadObject with something like:

dim acobj as AcadObject

Set acobj=thisDrawing.HandleToObject(Handle)

Now you can test acobj for your needs.
