I am in the process of creating a layout for our server room. I would like to have one page for each server showing all the information relavent to the machine. Here is my problem. I would like to include a screenshot of the drive management console for each server and include it on the page. However, there is not enough room in the page for the image. Is it possible to hide the image in a new layer and place an icon (stencil) on the page so whenever it is clicked, the image will appear? - Or is there any keystrokes to switch between layers? Please help me out. Thanks in advance.
 
Yes. Create several layers for your document (in shapesheet or View/Layer Properties) and then programatically assign the objects to whichever layer you want.
For example, you could set the EventDblClick event (in the shapesheet) to call a routine that displayed the layer with the related image.
The Visio SDK documentation has plenty of info. on layers.
