Is there a common dialog box in AutoCAD VBA?

Is there a Common Dialog Box (CommonDialog) for file selection in AutoCAD VBA?

Is it in one of their liberary files.

Thank you,

I think this thread belongs in the .NET, ObjectARX, VBA forum.

 

 

In any event, do you mean the default UserForm*?

• Insert > UserForm
  
• Or, the UserForm button (on the toolbar)

In VBA IDE,

Insert > UserForm

View >Toolbox

Rightclick in Controls, select "Additional Controls"

Scroll to select "Microsoft Common Dialog Control, Version .."

 

 

- then add the control to the userform from the now-augmented toolbox.

 

 

 

Caveat - the control may not be available on all machines.

I followed the above instructions. Mine does not have "Microsoft Common Dialog Control"

listed. Is there any way I can get that listing?

 

Also, How do I put this post in the proper Forum without reposting?

Depends on your environment. For "Microsoft Common Dialog Control" to show in the list its file must be present and registered.

 

Do you have comdlg32.ocx on your system? (generally it's in the \Windows\system32 directory) If so, is it registered?

 

What operating system and version of AutoCAD are you running?

 

Also consider that VBA is on its last legs and it might be worth considering switching development projects to .NET ...
