Running a VB application

Anonymous — Thu, 28 Jul 2005 21:06:36 GMT

Hi,

This is a very trivial question, but I have created a dialog box with a bit
of code along with it using the VBA editor supplied with AutoCAD. I have
saved my project as bom.dvb. Here is my question, what lines of code do I
need to add to the project so that typing bom on the command line runs my
new app? The integrating the VB into AutoCAD is proving itself to be very
frustrating...

Thank you,

Hi,

This question is answered in this NG about once a month on average. Just
look back through the group for a full discussion.

The method is with lisp along these lines:

(Defun C:WhatIType ()
(vl-vbarun "C:\\Dir1\\Dir2\\MyProgramFileName.dvb!MyMacroName")
)

Add the above to your acad.lsp file - If necssary create an acad.lsp file to
hold this text.

It is not necessary and it is not easy to do.

Here is some good info:

Also, try a search of "unload" in this newsgroup:
