This book opens the door to Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in AutoCAD -- including the new robust functions in AutoCAD 2000. You get an in-depth tour of all the basics, plus the more advanced areas such as using the Windows APIs, working with multiple projects, creating your own object class definitions, and more.
If you're an AutoLISP programmer who wants to learn VBA, a VB programmer who wants to learn AutoCAD VBA, or an AutoCAD user who just wants to get in on the fun, this book answers the key questions:
The "VBA Talk:" What is VBA and how does it fit into AutoCAD? How does it differ from AutoLISP and Microsoft's Visual BASIC?
The VBA environment -- hands-on: What's it like to write programs using this tool?
Object-oriented programming: What is it?
The AutoCAD object model: What are the main features, and how are they connected? How do you manipulate collections of objects?
Interfacing with other automation servers: How easy is it? VB versus VBA: What's different, and what's not?
Plus -- you get advice on pitfalls to avoid; two useful examples for creating your own objects; and a CD-ROM of sample applications, macros, utilities, and examples for beginning and advanced VBA programming.
