Class List

Description

A list of classes that can be used in a Dim staement, a Typeof expression, or with the New operator:

Object Provides access to OLE automation.

Comments

Use the most specific type possible when you declare object variables. You can view the types of objects exposed by an application through automation by using an object browser and the application's type library, or by referring to the application's documentation.

Example

This example uses the most specific type possible to declare the Visio Application object.

Sub main

   Dim Visio as Application

   Set visio = GetObject(,"visio.application")	

   If (visio Is Nothing) then

    Set visio = CreateObject("visio.application")

    If (visio Is Nothing) then

         Msgbox "Couldn't find Visio!"

         Exit Sub

      End If

   End If

   MsgBox "Visio is open."

End Sub
