Sub Main

'Declares VoxlerApp as an object

Dim VoxlerApp As Object

'Creates an instance of the Voxler application object

'and assigns it to the variable named "VoxlerApp"

Set VoxlerApp = CreateObject("Voxler.Application")

'Make Voxler visible

VoxlerApp.Visible = True

'Access CommandApi

Set CommandApi = VoxlerApp.CommandApi

'Open an existing file

CommandApi.Construct ("Open")

CommandApi.Option ("Path", VoxlerApp.Path+"\Samples\Gold (ScatterPlot).voxb")

CommandApi.DoOnce()

'Add a text module

CommandApi.Construct("CreateModule")

CommandApi.Option ("Type", "Text")

CommandApi.Do()

'Change the text that is displayed in the text to two lines of text

CommandApi.Construct ("ModifyModule")

CommandApi.Option ("Module", "Text")

CommandApi.Option ("TextText", "text in the map coordinates" + vbCrLf + "Multiple lines")
