ACAD Objects for Visual Basic

[Anonymous]

I've noticed from reading different posts that there are quite a few ACAD objects people can access by using Visual Basic. Is there a comprehensive list or book somewhere that shows all the ones available (like Preferences, AcadPreferencesDisplay, etc.)?

Thanks in advance

Right there in the Acad Developer Help (User's Guide & Reference).....

Is this same thing (Acad Developer Help (User's Guide & Reference).....) in the online help of AutoCAD 2000 Architectural Desktop? That's what we have.

in 2007
Help | additional resources | developer help
don't remember for sure about 2000 but I think developer resources was
directly under help (instead of under additional resources)

don't know if adt is different but would assume not

also note that object browser is more direct
(in vba ide)

I couldn't find it in AutoCAD 2000 Architectural Desktop. I guess I'll just look for objects in the postings. I'm using straight Visual Basic instead of VBA, so I've learned how to adjust for the difference. Thanks for the info, though. The book listed on Amazon in one of these posts may be an option at least for listing the objects.

Joe, You should meet that author he sounds like such a cool guy.

Go to the Help folder of your ADT installation. Browse for the files
acad_dev.chm & adtauto.chm, these are the Autocad Devleoper Help & ADT
Automation reference files.

The objects will be the same in VB as they are for VBA, but accessing them
will be slightly different since you will need to expilcity obtain the
AcadApplication & ADTInterfaceObject. The help should explain this.

Good Luck!

Those 2 files are not in the Help Folder, but I did find acadauto.chm which has the objects listed. There was a Acad_dev.cnt file which listed the acadauto.chm.

Thanks for the lead.
