Can objectviewer save images automatically?

Can objectviewer save images automatically?
Is it possible with VBA? Or .NET, javascript, python?
Can you manipulate child windows from parent window?
The objectviewer window looks like mordal.
I select objects in VBA and open objectviewer, but I can not save images automatically. It's good in other languages, so it would be helpful if you have any hints.
Thank you.

I do not believe the Object Viewer showing in AutoCAD exposes APIs (be it COM, or .NET, or whatever programming platforms) for customization by outsiders, but I think it is internally (to other AutoCAD vertical products)  customize-able, because I can see the same viewing effect being used in different AutoCAD verticals, such as in Acad Architecture, as mentioned here. That is, the object viewing functionality must be wrapped in a component and with interface being exposed, so that it can be re-used in different occasions. It is just not exposed to outside world (outside of Autodesk).

Since you are asking in AutoCAD VBA forum, I am sure there is no way to manipulate/control it with AutoCAD VBA code.

Thank you for your reply.
I understand very well that you say there is no way in VBA. Thanks to you, I was able to make that feeling stronger now.
If automation is possible, ObjectARX may be the closest. Or it may be a screen operation in Windows leaving AutoCAD. Just in case, let's ask questions on the board of ObjectARX. This question closes.
Thank you.
