measure - length(Curve,Point,Point):Length in VB

[pudsey]

Does anyone know if it is possible to program in vb to measure the geodesic distance (along a curve) between two points ?

At the moment I use GetMeasurable.MinimumDistance which is a workaround.

Thanks for reading this and any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Only way I ever found was to create a split element using the two points as the trim locations, measure the curve, then delete the split. Of course, determining the direction of the splits can be tricky.

Your suggestion is along similar lines to that posted below in another forum. Also, contained here is ths solution I'm using for the moment. Thanks once again for your time and effort.
