[quote user="Frank Klein"]What happened to "CreateCellElement2" within the Connect edition?[/quote]
The VBA API is more or less the same in CONNECT as in V8i. The CreateCellElementX and CreateSharedCellElementX methods are still there.
VBA in CONNECT is built from Microsoft's VBA 64-bit toolkit version 7.1.
[quote user="EvanH"]How can I place an ordinary cell (not shared) ? I can see that you can use "CreateCellElement2" in VBA but how do you get access to it in C# ?[/quote]
Use the cross-language idiom that Microsoft terms Platform Invoke (P/Invoke).
However, that is a work-around. We should be able to create a cell instance using the DgnPlatformAPI, but those methods are missing (in the case of normal cells) or apparently deficient (in the case of shared cells). Will the SDK for CONNECT Update 1 fill in the holes?
