Create new command and its options

[gdanielo]

Hello everyone,

 

I create VBA macros and I'd like to know if there's any way to create new command as lisp.

ex.: (defun c:new-command())
If so, can "drop down menu" like other natives commands (see picture below) be created ?

If not, do I need to create a lisp program to create commands only ? does this lisp program can create those options (as picture below) ?

In VBA you make Sub routines so these can be called from within the master VBA program. The VBA program would use say a Form for selection. I dabble at the edges of VBA need to open a 15 year old VBA I have to see how I did it.

You can create an AutoLISP command wrapper to run your VBA Macro. Try this example to create AutoCAD commands:

(defun c:MyCommand (/ fil mac) ;; Replace "MyCommand" with the command name of your preference.
   (vl-load-com)
   (setq fil "myfile.dvb" ;; Replace with the name of your DVB file
         mac "MyMacroSub" ;; Replace with the name of your main sub to fun the program.  
   )
   (vl-vbarun (strcat fil "!" mac))
   (princ)
)

Another example this is a line in a POP menu.

 

[Drainage schedule]^C^C(vl-vbaload "P:/AutoDESK/VBA/Drainage.dvb") (vl-vbarun "Drainage")
