With AutoCAD 2000 you cannot do that anymore as with ViLL or VLISP 4. Instead you compile to VLX (Visual Lisp Extension), which has basically the same functionality as the old Visual Lisp.

CAD for some time know there are several. CAD environment. But the problem. There are also times when you need to use one. This month we're going to take a look at some Visual LISP. VBA programmers. You won't need a lot of Visual LISP. VBA development, as you will. First, let's set the stage. VBA excels at dialog boxes and. Active X Automation. Since it. is derived from the popular BASIC programming language, it's a first choice. Auto. CAD for the first time. But VBA programmers. Many options are available, such as event reactors and. VBARUN command. But what about a command from the keyboard or a menu macro? The code needed inside a command. VBA module is straightforward. There are two Visual LISP subrs (internal functions) used to. VBA projects. They are (VL- VBALOAD) and (VL- VBARUN). Both provide. the same functionality as the VBALOAD and VBARUN commands at the Auto. CAD command. line. The only difference is that they can be run inside a Visual LISP program. On the other hand, there are some distinct advantages to. Visual LISP approach to loading and launching VBA macros instead of. The complete file. DVB extension. For example. My. Project. dvb in the C: \My. Work\ folder. the (VL- VBALOAD) function call would appear as follows. Also, the parentheses are required and the extension DVB is needed for. Otherwise, VBA programmers should have no. Unlike the VBALOAD command, this function will not generate. At least my testing revealed. If so, then. you should consider modifying your . As I've said before. Visual LISP—just the right stuff if you. Suppose you have a project named TEST. DVB in the. default Auto. CAD folder. The menu line shown below. One thing to note is that the VBARUN is not a. That is, program execution will not be handed to the VBA macro and. Visual LISP routine suspended as if it were running a function. Instead. the Visual LISP function will continue to run as the VBA macro starts. The best. thing to do is simply finish the Visual LISP function as quickly as possible. VBA macro run the command interface from that point forward. If. you want to return to a Visual LISP function after running the VBA code, then. Send. Command method attached to the Document object in VBA. When you. are ready to hand control back to Visual LISP, call the function directly (remember. Visual. LISP functions). When you use this approach, the VBA program should end and. Visual LISP function to proceed without interference. Similar to starting. VBA macro in the first place, when you send commands to the Auto. CAD document. from VBA, they will be run along with the VBA and sometimes this can result. Note that you can. VBA to the Visual LISP function by sending them as part. They will need to be converted to strings first, then. Visual LISP function as part of the function start up from the Send. Command method. There are two string arguments to the. The project name needs to be. The function. in Listing 1 can be used in a menu or in another Visual LISP function to load. VBA macro. For example, suppose we have a macro named My. Macro. in a project stored in C: \My. Projects\Test. 1. Dvb. To run My. Macro from a menu. As mentioned earlier, a function. C: at the start will create a new command for Auto. CAD. users to type at the command line or use in a menu macro. The function definition. My. Macro would simply be the following sequence of enclosed parentheses. This can be accomplished using the (LOAD) expression in. Visual LISP inside a menu or as part of the loading process in Auto. CAD. Another. alternative is to use the APPLOAD command. The APPLOAD command provides a tool. Visual LISP (and other) custom. After the Visual LISP functions (stored in an LSP file) are. This simple. set of Visual LISP function programming does lead to some other interesting. For Visual LISP programmers wanting to exploit Visual BASIC. Randy played with this concept and quickly produced. VBA project set object—an undocumented. That example fell into my hands. Listing 2, in which the names. This utility. can be used to unload projects or load them in a particular order, if needed. The tool can be used in the memory management of VBA. It can also provide a method by which you can sanitize the VBA environment. The function (GET- VBA- PROJECT- LIST) shown in Listing 2 is not. Auto. CAD automation objects. As such, the. first thing the function does when starting is invoke the (VL- LOAD- COM) expression. Visual LISP. Let's. Auto. CAD object tree. The first stop is the Auto. CAD application. object itself (vl- get- acad- object). This function returns an object reference. Auto. CAD program. The. VBA environment is one of them. The next step is to make a request to Auto. CAD. via Active X automation to obtain the object reference for the VBA IDE object. VBE). The function (VLA- GET- VBE) returns an object reference that. However, you must use the generic (VLA- GET) function. VLA- GET- xxx). type functions have been provided. In the case of our application, you want. Projects list. After all, you are looking for the names of the VBA projects. Hidden Treasures. Now you may be wondering just how did I learn about all these. Is there some secret place. Turns out there are several locations you can use. There is also printed documentation available. But realize that the online help and printed documentation. Auto. CAD's Visual LISP and VBA. In VBA you have the object browser. Visual LISP the apropos window. But when you want to learn about object contents in Visual LISP. VLAX- DUMP- OBJECT). The (VLAX- DUMP- OBJECT) subr. It will show the names and values of an object referenced by a symbol. Visual LISP. Listing 3 shows a quick session using the dump object, which. Visual LISP. I am confident. New windows into Auto. CAD will open before your eyes! Getting back to the function in Listing 2, the object returned. VLA- GET- VBE) is used to obtain the projects object reference, and, if successful. The projects object is a collection of projects. The count property. When the (VLA- ITEM) subr is used with. Projects object reference and an index (starting at one), a Project object. The data our function is interested in can be found in the Project. Specifically, we are interested in the Name and File. Name. properties. These values are retrieved using the (VLAX- GET) subr from the project. For example, the utility in Listing 4 will unload all the VBA. It first obtains a list of the projects. GET- VBA- PROJECT- LIST). A for each loop iterates through each. VBAUNLOAD command. There. is currently no (VL- UNLOADVBA) or anything like it that I have found. Of course. with objects that could change with the next update! That is one of the most. Auto. CAD, they update, evolve. VBA and Visual LISPThe use of both VBA and Visual LISP is a powerful combination. Auto. CAD applications. You can use the best features of. The draw back is that you. Thus. even if you already know VBA, you can gain a lot by obtaining a working knowledge. Visual LISP. And Visual LISP programmers, who want a much better mechanism. Excel and Access—will want to learn a lot about. VBA. More about the integration of the two language environments is something. I can explore in future columns. Until next time, keep on Programmin'! Listing 1. VBA Menu Macro Utility. VBA- DOIT (Proj. Name Macro). Proj. Name). (vl- vbaload Proj. Name). (vl- vbarun Macro). Listing 2. VBA Project List. Returns a nested list of project names. VBA. ; ; projects. Command Line When Dumping Objects. Command: (setq o. App (vlax- get- acad- object)). VLA- OBJECT IAcad. Application 0. 0a. Command: (setq o. Vbe (vlax- get oapp .
