VBA cannot be used to develop standalone applications.
It is always hosted in some application, and typically used as a "macro language" for automating actions. The user must have the application installed in order to make use of any VBA you have written for it.
Some such applications offer an SDK that contains a runtime subset of the standard application. This usually requires that you acquire a developer license through some process. MS Office used to have a Developer Edition for this. Now Microsoft sells an Office/Visual Studio add-on called VSTO/VSTA (name varies with the version).
You'd have to get such an SDK from the supplier of AutoCAD. This may provide a way to create stand-alone applications that incorporate your VBA logic.
Hai, thanks for you answer,
I want to ******** that i am currently using vba for autocad customisation, but i do not want to use that anymore, ,
i have seen vb can be integrated with office suites etc and there are some refernce controls for office suits,
vb can also be used for opening applications such as auitocad.
what i want is that instead of my proigramming based in vb i want to program in visual studio to open the autocad document and work in the autocad environment .
is this possible ,
i do not know whther autodesk provides such sdk, i am unable top find it,
please share any link or information so that it will help me,
once again thanks for your answer.
