Does anyone have a VBA example I could use in MicroStation?

[technotrope]

I guess the subject says it all. I'd like to try to get this to work in Bentley's MicroStation V8 and, although I've looked at the VB example, I can't make heads nor tails of it. TIA for any help, recommendations, or links.

Hi technotrope,

Please refer to the SDK page. You'll find a VB example in there.

The page can be accessed from here.

Thanks, ngomes, for your reply. I assume you're referring to the example in "vb.zip?" As noted in my original post, I originally downloaded this, but can't make heads nor tails out of it. Is there a 2nd example somewhere you are referring to?

Indeed I was. Apologises for missing it.

Not that I'm aware, I'm afraid.

Have you got any experience in using COM from VB or VBA?

I don't, unfortunately. It may be that this is simply beyond my current understanding. I'll do some research on using COM and see what I come up with. Thanks, again, for your help.

It is not that hard. The "devices" objects are available on the Object Browser (if you're using Microsoft development tools for VBA). You can use them just as any other type.

the TDxInput API uses standard "interfaces" and you may want to check how to use IConnectionPoint from a VB/VBA app.

If you can, we would appreciate if you could post here what you find. It may be helpful to other VB programmers.
