How to load external dll

[bonsaiko]

Hello,

I have to convert an existing VBA macro into a LibreOffice Macro in Basic, to be used in Writer.

In the VBA macro, I can see a reference to a file called MetierCom.tlb, and the code inside the macro is :

        Dim factory As MetierCom.MetierFactory
        Set factory = New MetierCom.MetierFactory
        Dim Maquette As MetierCom.CustomTemplate

I need to write the same code inside my LO macro and I think it should initialize the variables the same way as in VBA, but I don’t know how to load MetierCom.tlb.

In Word, it’s in “References” but I can’t find the equivalent inside Writer…

Could you please help me ?

Your title-question asks for external dll, so maybe the link I searched in the linked thread can help you. But I never tried this, as using dlls directly will be Windows only…

How do I add VBA reference to a VBA script?

Hello! I want to use Shell32 as part of my macros, but getting “Unknown Data Type” error I read that I need to add “microsoft shell controls and automation” reference to the module. Now, in Excel you merely have to click Tools → Add reference. For the life of me, I spent 15 minutes and I can’t find ANYTHING similar in LibreOffice. Help?
