X5 - executing Add-In function from VBA

[Tomasz]

I know that so far VSTA capabilities are very limited. However is there any way to execute an Add-in dll function by VBA code? I know I can write functions in c++ and compile them into a win32 dll but using VSTA dll would be so convenient.

I don't believe this is possible. VSTA is still very much in the beginning stages. Hopefully in X6 we will see much stronger support.

Thank you Shelby. I tried to access VSTA functions in a similiar way I do it in VBA/VSTO with no success hence the question.
Have you ever tried binding VSTA subs or functions to a custom docker UI? Is there any way to use VSTA functions so far other than simple function execution at CorelDRAW startup?

The only way I have gotten any VSTA project is at Startup. :-( If I get some time I will look into this again, but at this point I think it is the only option.
