[quote user="Mike Longstreet"]Are MicroStation Connect "Item Types" able to be manipulated using MVBA? [/quote]
The APIs that handle Item Types are the C++ MicroStationAPI and the .NET DgnPlatformNet. Item Types haven't made it into VBA as far as I can see.
A related topic is EC Schemas. Item Types rely on a well-formed schema to operate, rather like a relational database. VBA has no mechanism for handling schemas.
