Tables of VBA Object Model Changes

  • Article

This content is outdated and is no longer being maintained. It is provided as a courtesy for individuals who are still using these technologies. This page may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist.

The Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) object model in Microsoft Office Project Standard 2007 and Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007 includes new classes, methods, properties, and events that support the new features in Project 2007. For an introduction to the Project object model changes, see VBA Object Model Changes.

You can use the following three tables to help develop or adapt Automation solutions using the Project 2007 object model.

  • Table 1 compares the VBA, Microsoft .NET Framework, and managed code types to help when you are developing with Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System.

  • Table 2 lists all of the object model changes in the subclasses of MSProject.

  • Table 3 lists new enumerations in Project 2007, and shows what class members use them.

The Project 2007 SDK does not include the full VBA Help reference. To access VBA Help, open the Visual Basic Editor in Project, and then click the Help menu or press F1. The VBA Help file for Project 2007 is the Microsoft Help 2.0 format WINPROJDEV.HXS file in the [Program Files]\Microsoft Office\Office12\[LCID] directory, where LCID is the locale ID. For example, the English VBA Help for Project is [Program Files]\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033\WINPROJDEV.HXS.

VBA Help for all Office 2007 client applications is also available in the MSDN Library. For the updated Project VBA reference online, see the Microsoft Office Project 2007 Developer Reference. To access updated help topics for VBA when you are working in the Visual Basic Editor, click the Connection Status menu in the bottom right of the Project Help window and then click Show content from Office Online. For example, the VBA object model maps (such as the Application and Projects Object Map) are available only through online help. For the online fields reference, see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project/CH100788901033.aspx.

Comparison of Types

Table 1 includes only the data types you are likely to use when developing with the Project object model. For a list of all built-in types, for example, the Microsoft Visual C# Types Reference Tables and the Visual Basic Data Type Summary, see the programmer's references in Visual Studio Help.

Object Model Changes in Project 2007

Table 2 lists only changes (additions and deletions) in the Project 2007 object model compared to the Project 2003 object model. The Properties, Methods, and Events column lists the object members and events that differ. Project 2007 hides the deleted members that were visible and documented in Project 2003. To see hidden members in the Visual Basic Editor, right-click anywhere in the Object Browser window and then click Show Hidden Members.

NoteNote

Methods that have changed parameters have Ex (for Extended) appended to the method name. When you record a macro in Project 2007, the macro uses the changed methods. For example, when you are recording a macro and close the project file, the macro records FileCloseEx. The original methods are hidden. Hidden members are not documented in the Project 2007 VBA Help file or in the Project 2007 SDK.

The Comments column shows whether the class or member is new, changed, or deleted (hidden) in Project 2007. For methods with changed parameters, use named parameters in VBA to avoid introducing errors. For example, OptionsView adds ProjectCurrency as the tenth parameter, between the CurrencyDigits and DisplayOutlineNumber parameters that are present in Project 2003. You can pass a named parameter as shown in the following code example.

Dim result as Boolean
result = OptionsView DisplayOutlineNumber:=True
'Error in tenth parameter: 
'result = OptionsView( , , , , , , , , , True)

Methods and events in Table 2 show the signature as extracted from the MSPRJ.OLB object library that is installed with Project Professional 2007. In most cases, the Optional Variant parameter type is actually a type such as Boolean, String, Integer, or Long. The property types in Table 2 are named as they appear in the Visual Basic Editor.

The updated Visual Basic Help for Project 2007 shows the correct signature syntax for methods. For example, the correct syntax of the AreTherePendingJobs method follows:

expression.OpenUndoTransaction(Label, Guid)

expression Optional. An expression that returns an Application object.

LabelString. The undo transaction label.

Guid Optional Guid. The undo transaction GUID.

The class members listed in the first column include the Global and Application classes if they appear that way in the Visual Basic Editor or in the object library, MSPRJ.OLB. Members that are listed only for the Application class do not show as a Global member.
