Working with VBA Macros

Overview

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for Microsoft Word is a simple but powerful programming language that can be used to extend the functionality. Aspose.Words API provides three classes to get access to the VBA project source code:

  • The VBAProject class provides access to VBA project information
  • The VBAModuleCollection class returns the collection of VBA project modules
  • The VbaModule class provides access to the VBA project module
  • The VbaModuleType enumeration defines the types of a model in a VBA project. The module can be a procedural module, document module, class module, or designer module
