Add in functionality in VBA

[CDienst]

Hello,

I'm using an add-in that adds functions to pull data from a 3rd party program. The add-in also adds a section to the ribbon with buttons that recalculate (either the current sheet or all sheets in the book). Is there any way to activate these recalculate options in a VBA macro? They seem to work a lot faster than just the standard <sheets>.Calculate.
I tried contacting support for the people who made the add-in (who are also the people who make the 3rd party program) and they just told me that macros are up to the user. I googled the issue a bit and the only things I found involved referencing or doing things with an .xll file, which I could not find. The file that is used to install the add-in is an .exe.
Does anyone know how I might accomplish this, or where I should look to find out how?

Thanks</sheets>

Have you tried recording a macro when you use this particular option?
That might give you a clue as to the syntax to use.

Oh, that was a good idea.
It comes out as

 Application.CalculateFull
 Application.CalculateFull

I guess I must have been imagining it being faster?

EDIT: I've gone back and compared running the macro it created and compared it to using the button from the add-in, and the one from the add-in is definitely faster.
Is there some way I can dissect the add-in and maybe find out how it works?

From memory, some add-ins are included as macros.
You might be able to check the VBA code in the editor (unless, of course, it's been password protected).
