Calling up VBA

[Anonymous]

Hello.
I have this nice .dvb file that I would like to use by clicking a button on
a toolbar. Only problem I don't know how. I have been looking around on the
internet and haven't found a solution. All I keep finding is code to call up
a Module. I don't have any in my .dvb file. All I have is a Form. All my
code is in the Form. Or they talk about Macro Name. All I have is
Details.dvb.

I have Details.dvb added to the Startup Suite.
I have created a button and put it on a tool bar.
I have found where to put the code to start Details.dvb. Just don't know
what to put.

Create a Module and have the Module load your form.

Ya that is what I did.

So far my problems today have had simple
solutions.

Hi Larry,

Use lisp.

In it's simplest (and adequate for all purposes) form:


(vl-load-com)
(defun C:Fred()
(vl-vbarun "C:\\Whatever\\Whateveragain\\Myprogram.dvb!MyMacro")

)


This will load (if necessary) and run the MyMacro in the file

C:\\Whatever\\Whateveragain\\Myprogram.dvb

If the file is in a folder on the AutoCAD search path, then you don't
need the path, but is will be faster to load if you supply the path
rather than searching via the AutoCAD path tree.

With this, you should remove your dvb file from the startup suite.

Ya I thought about doing it that way, so I don't have to have the .dvb
loaded at startup. No need to have acad loading a bunch of stuff at start
up. I will end up changing to a lisp before I finish it.
