ArcGIS Desktop VBA Developer Resources 9.3

ArcGIS Desktop VBA Developer Resources by Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. is a legacy collection of documentation, samples, and tools for customizing ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap and ArcCatalog) with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and ArcObjects. It helps GIS professionals automate workflows, build custom tools and menus, and interact with map, layer, editing, and geoprocessing events in older versions of ArcGIS Desktop.

Key contents and capabilities:

• API and object model references for ArcObjects with VBA examples
• Step-by-step tutorials for creating forms, commands, toolbars, and event handlers
• Sample code snippets and template projects for common GIS tasks
• Guidance on automating geoprocessing, map document (MXD) manipulation, selections, and symbology
• Tips for debugging, deployment, and best practices
• Migration guidance toward .NET add-ins and Python for newer ArcGIS Desktop versions

Note: These resources target ArcGIS Desktop releases that support VBA (up to approximately version 10.0). VBA support was discontinued in later versions, where Esri recommends using .NET add-ins and Python for customization. This package is particularly useful for maintaining or transitioning existing VBA-based customizations.
