Parameters

FilePathName

Path and filename of the project file containing the macro

ModuleName

Name of the module in the macro

ProcedureName

Name of the procedure in the module

Options

Option as defined swRunMacroOption_e (supports VBA macros only)

Error

Error as defined by swRunMacroError_e (supports VBA macros only)

Return Value

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)

1. Create two VBA macros using the following code samples.
2. Store RunMacroSub.swp in c:\test. 
3. Run RunMacro.swp.

Option Explicit
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim boolstatus As Boolean
Sub main()
   Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
   Dim runMacroError As Long
   boolstatus = swApp.RunMacro2("c:\test\RunMacroSub.swp", "RunMacroSub1", "main",   swRunMacroUnloadAfterRun, runMacroError)
End Sub

Option Explicit
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Sub alternate()
   Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
   swApp.SendMsgToUser "RunMacroSub1:alternate() called."
End Sub
Sub main()
   Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
   swApp.SendMsgToUser "RunMacroSub1:main() called."
End Sub

Running a C# DLL from VBA

boolstatus = Me.swApp.RunMacro2('C:\Test\CSharpMacro\SwMacro\bin\Release\CSharpMacro.dll',

 '', 'Main',  swRunMacroOption_e.swRunMacroDefault, runMacroError)

If you specify swRunMacroUnloadAfterRun for Options, then the macro is unloaded from the VBA IDE after running.

Use the path and filename of the compiled DLL for the FilePathName argument for a .NET macro. By default, the procedure is called Main in a C# macro. Because C# is case sensitive, you must specify Main for ProcedureName in this method.. See Running a C# DLL from VBA in the Example section.

Running a macro from an add-in application, standalone .exe, or VBA macro is supported. Running a .NET macro from a .NET macro is also supported, but only if both .NET macros were created using the same VSTA version.

See SOLIDWORKS Macros for details.
