Retrieving Xref information from within Visual Basic

[Anonymous]

I am trying to retrieve informatio about all the xrefs in the current drawing using Visual Basic. I am able to list all the defined blocks, but I have no way of evaluating which are xrefs.

I have seen some code examples using the .IsXref property of a block object - but the acad object model does not appear to support this. Even if I can get .IsXref to work, I still need to retieve more detailed information about the type of attachment.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

VBA doesn't expose attachment type but you can use the VisualLISP ActiveX
interface to execute a LISP expression. I have free wrapper in the form of a
class module named VLAX in the download sectionof my web site. In the VB
section is an XrefType function showing how to determine the xref's
attachment method.
