    Hi Gentlemen,

    I developing a wizard, in that i have to retrieve the block names that are used in an AutoCAD drawing and all of them are to be displayed in a MSHflexgrid. Here my doubt is how
    to retrieve the block names from the drawing to VBA.

    Can any help me in this regard..

    Thanx in advance,
    Kamalesh

    Kamalesh -

    First off, you cannot use the MSHflexgrid control if this is a VBA app - it
    is against your Microsoft EULA. Search the ng for a thread regarding grid
    controls earlier this week. In it I gave a few freeware ones to try.

    As for the blocks:

    Dim oBlk As AcadBlock
    For Each oBlk In ThisDrawing.Blocks
    Debug.Print oBlk.Name
    Next

    This will give you all blocks in the drawing's block table.
