dynamically create a set of masters

[chocolaad]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to dynamically create a set of masters on a stencil, but having a few hitches. Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong here?

1. I get hold of a master from a separate stencil:

Visio.Master shpMst=VisioApp.Documents["Basic Shapes.vss"].Masters["Rectangle"];

2. Attempting to rename it throws a "Requested operation is presently disabled." exception:

shpMst.Name = "New Rectangle"; // exception!

3. The following code adds the Rectangle to the stencil, but throws a "cannot create object" exception:

VisioApp.Documents["MyStencil.vss"].Drop(shpMst,0,0);

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Kind regards,

Philip
