Introduction to Programming ArcObjects with VBA 2-* Class libraries A class library is simply a collection of several classes that are contained within a single file. Class libraries are generally stored in files with extensions such as .DLL, .OLB, .EXE, or .OCX. Visual Basic for Applications has its own library that contains all the classes you work with in VBA such as Strings, Math, and Collection. The Microsoft Forms library contains all the classes you have worked with to create user forms such as Forms, CommandButtons, and TextBoxes. All of the ArcGIS objects are defined in the ArcObjects library (esriCore) and contain classes such as Map, Layer, Polygon, and Table. Referencing a class library As a programmer, you have the ability to control which class libraries you work with in a given project. You can bring in additional libraries or remove existing ones from your Visual Basic project by choosing References from the Tools menu on the Visual Basic Editor toolbar. The References dialog (shown above) allows you to browse available class libraries, remove libraries that are currently referenced, or check libraries to bring them into the project. By referencing additional libraries, you give yourself access to more objects, and you may be surprised by the number of class libraries available on your machine. If you have Internet Explorer, Crystal Reports, or Visio, for example, you can reference and use the classes available in those applications in your own application. Note that when programming an application with VBA, you will always have a default set of class libraries referenced. In ArcMap and ArcCatalog, for example, you will always have a reference to the ArcObjects library, as well as the VBA and the Microsoft Forms library. All classes defined in these libraries will be available in your project as soon as you start the application. You only need to make a reference to a class library if you want to bring in classes that are not defined in one of these
