Referencing an Object Library
![]() |
To use the Synthesis API in your code, you must reference the Synthesis API library in your VBA or .NET projects. Referencing a library also activates Visual Basic Intellisense ™, which displays the syntax of a statement and applicable parameters as you begin coding.
To reference the library from VBA
- Enter the VBA environment by clicking the Visual Basic command on the Developer tab (If the Developer tab is not visible, see this Microsoft article).
- In the VBA environment, choose Tools > References. (If the References command is unavailable, click the Reset button on the ribbon and then try again.)
- Click Browse and find the SynthesisAPI.tlb file on your computer. Click OK. The library is now ready for use.
To reference the library from Visual Studio
- In Solution Explorer, double-click the My Project node for the project.
- In the Project Designer, click the References tab. Then click the Add button.
- In the Add Reference window, click the Browse tab and find the SynthesisAPI.dll file on your computer. Click OK. The library is now ready for use.
