Where can I find all of the "VLA", "VLAX" items for Visual Lisp?

Under acad_dev.chm in the help folder, look for vba and activex reference.

All the vl functions are listed under AutoLISP Reference in the acad_dev.chm file. The vla- and vlax- functions are derived from looking at the ActiveX and VBA Reference of the same Help file. For example, the AddLine function. You would use vla-addline.

These is a lot more to it than what was posted. Pick one of the vba functions and try it. if you get stuck ask how here on theswamp. they get easier the more you do. :D

The syntax on the vla functions is not well documented, but you can find out most of the stuff you need to know from the VBA help file.

Every defined symbol in Visual LISP, including functions, can be looked up via the Apropos feature (View->Apropos Window...).
E.g. if you input "vlax", it'll show a list with all symbols containing VLAX. Hitting the ?-button will open the help file on the selected item, .. or the 404 page if no help is available.

That last tip is a great tip.  I always wanted an easy way to find some of the undocumented autolisp commands in Building Systems.  Thanks.
