Migrating VBA customizations to ArcGIS 10 (ArcObjects .NET 10 SDK)

Image via WikipediaSummary

ArcGIS 10 is the last release to include Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), so it is important to migrate customizations currently implemented using VBA to another supported customization environment. VBA no longer provides the optimum toolset for customizing ArcGIS Desktop.

This topic outlines how to work with VBA at ArcGIS 10, and describes the available options for migrating VBA customizations to the new customization framework.

Convert VBA code for ArcGIS8 to ArcGIS9

Image via WikipediaSummary

This application is intended to help users update VBA code from ArcGIS 8 to ArcGIS 9. While there is a utility included in the ArcGIS 9 developers pack to do this, some users may not have the ability to use this resource.

This application updates VBA code by adding the correct type library to objects previously contained in the esriCore library. If an object is contained in multiple type libraries, those libraries are displayed and the user prompted for the correct one.

This application updates code that explicitly identified the old esriCore library (i.e. Dim pAV as esriCore.IActiveView), as well as code that does not make this explicit identification (i.e. Dim pAV as IactiveView). The application does not identify or update library information for ESRI extensions and controls. If these libraries have been explicitly identified in code, they will need to be removed manually for the application to update the associated object.
