iLogic - VBA code

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Can you tell me if you can write and execute vba code inside ilogic, please?.

Thanks.

Hello,

As far as i'm aware, you can run straight VB.NET code within iLogic.

If you wan't to run straight VBA code (slightly different to VB.NET) instead, you should use the Inventor API by going to the "Tools" tab and opening the VBA editor. Inventor API can read more languages including VBA, C++, C#.

Hi,

You can try this example:

1. In Inventor menus, select Tools > VBA Editor,

2. In ApplicationProject > Modules > Module1, put this code:

Public Sub HelloWorld()

     MsgBox "Hello World", vbInformation, "Hello World"

End Sub

3. Back to Inventor, in iLogic browser, create New Rule "Rule0" and type this:

InventorVb.RunMacro("ApplicationProject", "Module1", "HelloWorld")

Where and how is the VBA code stored in Inventor?

I'm asking because you don't have to create a new document before writing the VBA code, So I just curious as to where and how it is stored

To the best of my knowledge it is stored in a .ivb file that you can set from the application options->file tab->default vba project.
