New to VBA

Anonymous

I have been using AutoLISP for a while but was planing on getting into VBA. I was wondering what the strengths of it were compared to Lisp? In other words what kind of customization can be accomplished best with what language? I am planing on righting a routine that will label mulit-lines as they are drawn with any one of a number of different labels. Thanks.

You can certainly do what you described using VBA.



I think its greatest strength over AutoLISP is that it's much easier to create GUI's. It also allows you to communicate directly with Excel, Access, Word, Outlook, etc.

I second Mark's reply!

 

For you're multi-line routine, it can be done via
both, just depends on how you want it to operate
(input/prompts/etc.).


style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">

You can certainly do what you described using VBA.

That's also a feature of Visual LISP...;-)
