Visual Basic for Applications

MicroStation V8 implements Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), including, but not limited to:

• Calling between MDL, VBA, and native code

• VBA as a prototyping tool

• Exposing existing MDL code to COM, etc.

Choosing Utilities > Macro > Project Manager opens the VBA Project Manager dialog box, which serves as MicroStation V8's integrated development environment (IDE) for VBA.

Choosing Utilities > Macro > Macros opens the Macros dialog box, which is used to create, run, debug, and delete VBA macros.

Choosing Utilities > Macro > Visual Basic Editor starts Microsoft's Visual Basic application.

For MicroStation V8-specific information about developing VBA macros, see the help document MicroStation VBA Documentation in MicroStation V8's Documentation program group.
