VBA and Visio

[shrubble]

I'm doing a bunch of cookie-cutter network diagrams, and have created the diagram template, without any text (text will change from site to site).

I'v also created a user form to enter the site info into. I have two questions:

1) How do I use VBA to get a handle on an object (a particular router image, for example), so that I can assign text to it?

2) How do I set text in a particular area of the document, without association to an image?

I'm not a newbie to VBA, so I only need the technical stuff.

Thanks for the help!

Try to play with the Object Browser (usually the F2 key when in VBE) and the Help files (usually the F1 key with cursor on the desired keyword).

Hope This Helps, PH.

Yeah- that was the first thing I did, and I got the generic VBA help system. Visio kind of has its own thing going on, I was just hoping that I would get somebody that does this all day.

Thanks anyway

Hi shrubble,

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the Visio Object Model, so can't help you myself, but it might be worth asking in the Visio Forum (Forum172).

Enjoy,
Tony
