Introduktion

API står för Application Programming Interface

API: er för VBA innebär en uppsättning metoder som möjliggör direkt interaktion med operativsystemet

Systemsamtal kan göras genom att utföra procedurer definierade i DLL-filer

Anmärkningar

Vanliga operativmiljöbiblioteksfiler (DLL: er):

Dynamic Link Library Beskrivning
advapi32.dll Avancerat servicebibliotek för API: er inklusive många säkerhets- och registersamtal
comdlg32.dll Gemensamt API-bibliotek för dialog
Gdi32.dll Grafik Device Interface API-bibliotek
Kernel32.dll Core Windows 32-bitars bas API-stöd
Lz32.dll 32-bitars komprimeringsrutiner
Mpr.dll Flera leverantörs routerbibliotek
Netapi32.dll 32-bitars Network API-bibliotek
Shell32.dll 32-bitars Shell API-bibliotek
user32.dll Bibliotek för rutiner för användargränssnitt
Version.dll Versionsbibliotek
Winmm.dll Windows multimedia-bibliotek
Winspool.drv Print spooler-gränssnitt som innehåller API-samtal för print spooler

Nya argument som används för 64-systemet:

Typ Artikel Beskrivning
Qualifier PtrSafe Indikerar att uttalandet om förklaring är kompatibelt med 64-bitar. Detta attribut är obligatoriskt för 64-bitars-system
Data typ LongPtr En variabel datatyp som är en 4-bytes datatyp på 32-bitarsversioner och en 8-byte datatyp på 64-bitarsversioner av Office 2010. Detta är det rekommenderade sättet att deklarera en pekare eller ett handtag för ny kod men också för äldre kod om den måste köras i 64-bitarsversionen av Office 2010. Den stöds endast under VBA 7-körtiden på 32-bitars och 64-bitars. Observera att du kan tilldela numeriska värden till det men inte numeriska typer
Data typ Lång lång Detta är en 8-byte datatyp som bara är tillgänglig i 64-bitarsversioner av Office 2010. Du kan tilldela numeriska värden men inte numeriska typer (för att undvika trunkering)
Omvandling Operatör CLngPtr Konverterar ett enkelt uttryck till en LongPtr-datatyp
Omvandling Operatör CLngLng Konverterar ett enkelt uttryck till en LongLong-datatyp
Fungera VarPtr Variantomvandlare. Returnerar en LongPtr på 64-bitarsversioner och en Long on 32-bitars (4 byte)
Fungera ObjPtr Objektomvandlare. Returnerar en LongPtr på 64-bitarsversioner och en Long on 32-bitars (4 byte)
Fungera StrPtr Strängomvandlare. Returnerar en LongPtr på 64-bitarsversioner och en Long on 32-bitars (4 byte)

API-deklaration och användning

Förklarar en DLL-procedur för att arbeta med olika VBA-versioner:

Option Explicit

#If Win64 Then

    Private Declare PtrSafe Sub xLib "Kernel32" Alias "Sleep" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

#ElseIf Win32 Then

    Private Declare Sub apiSleep Lib "Kernel32" Alias "Sleep" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

#End If

Ovanstående deklaration berättar för VBA hur man kallar funktionen "Sleep" definierad i filen Kernel32.dll

Win64 och Win32 är fördefinierade konstanter som används för villkorlig sammanställning


Fördefinierade konstanter

Vissa sammanställningskonstanter är redan fördefinierade. Vilka som finns kommer att bero på bitheten i den kontorsversion du kör VBA i. Observera att Vba7 introducerades tillsammans med Office 2010 för att stödja 64-bitarsversioner av Office.

Konstant 16 bitar 32 bitar 64 bitar
Vba6 Falsk Om Vba6 Falsk
Vba7 Falsk Om Vba7 Sann
Win16 Sann Falsk Falsk
Win32 Falsk Sann Sann
Win64 Falsk Falsk Sann
Mac Falsk Om Mac Om Mac

Dessa konstanter hänvisar till Office-versionen, inte Windows-versionen. Till exempel Win32 = TRUE i 32-bitars Office, även om operativsystemet är en 64-bitarsversion av Windows.

Huvudskillnaden vid deklarering av API: er är mellan 32-bitars och 64-bitars Office-versioner som introducerade nya parametertyper (se avsnitt Anmärkningar för mer information)


Anmärkningar:

  • Deklarationer placeras högst upp på modulen och utanför alla Subs eller funktioner
  • Förfaranden som deklareras i standardmoduler är offentliga som standard
  • För att förklara en procedur privat till en modul föregår deklarationen med det Private nyckelordet
  • DLL-procedurer som deklareras i någon annan typ av modul är privata för den modulen

Enkelt exempel för Sleep API-samtal:

Public Sub TestPause()

    Dim start As Double

    start = Timer

    Sleep 9000      'Pause execution for 9 seconds

    Debug.Print "Paused for " & Format(Timer - start, "#,###.000") & " seconds"

    'Immediate window result: Paused for 9.000 seconds

End Sub

Det rekommenderas att skapa en dedikerad API-modul för att ge enkel åtkomst till systemfunktionerna från VBA-omslag - normala VBA-underordningar eller funktioner som innehåller de detaljer som behövs för det faktiska systemsamtalet, t.ex. parametrar som används i bibliotek, och initialisering av dessa parametrar

Modulen kan innehålla alla deklarationer och beroenden:

  • Metodsignaturer och obligatoriska datastrukturer
  • Inpackningar som utför ingångsvalidering och ser till att alla parametrar skickas som förväntat

För att deklarera en DLL-procedur lägger du till ett Declare i avsnittet Deklarationer i kodfönstret.

Om proceduren returnerar ett värde, förklara det som en funktion :

Declare Function publicname Lib "libname" [Alias "alias"] [([[ByVal] variable [As type] [,[ByVal] variable [As type]]...])] As Type

Om en procedur inte återvänder ett värde, förklara den som en Sub:

Declare Sub publicname Lib "libname" [Alias "alias"] [([[ByVal] variable [As type] [,[ByVal] variable [As type]]...])]

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Observera också att de flesta ogiltiga samtal till API: er kraschar Excel och eventuellt skadade datafiler

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Office 2011 för Mac

Private Declare Function system Lib "libc.dylib" (ByVal command As String) As Long

Sub RunSafari()
    Dim result As Long
    result = system("open -a Safari --args http://www.google.com")
    Debug.Print Str(result)
End Sub

Exemplen nedan (Windows API - Dedicated Module (1 och 2)) visar en API-modul som innehåller vanliga deklarationer för Win64 och Win32

Office 2016 för Mac är sandlådor

Till skillnad från andra versioner av Office-appar som stöder VBA, är Office 2016 för Mac-apparater sandlådor.

Sandboxing begränsar apparna från att komma åt resurser utanför appbehållaren. Detta påverkar eventuella tillägg eller makron som involverar filåtkomst eller kommunikation över processer. Du kan minimera effekterna av sandboxning genom att använda de nya kommandona som beskrivs i följande avsnitt. Nya VBA-kommandon för Office 2016 för Mac

Följande VBA-kommandon är nya och unika för Office 2016 för Mac.

Kommando Brukar
GrantAccessToMultipleFiles Begär en användares behörighet att få åtkomst till flera filer samtidigt
AppleScriptTask Ring externa AppleScript-skript från VB
MAC_OFFICE_VERSION IFDEF mellan olika Mac Office-versioner vid sammanställningstiden
