VBA for Visio: Any good literature?

[mmtraining]

Does anyone know where I can find examples of code, training manuals etc. for Visio-VBA? I train people to use VBA in other applications (Word, Excel, Access), so I don't need the basics. What I'm after is any further help with the objects etc. in Visio.

Also any web sites would be helpful.

Thanx a lot in advance

DVS (Developing Visio Solutions) is a good starting point. It was available as an Acrobat file with earlier version of Visio, but now comes in book form as "Developing Microsoft Visio Solutions". It is also availabe as an online reference at the MSDN site. Dave Edson has a book for Visio 2002. Though dated, it is still relevant as a companion to DVS. For those that really get into programming Visio, Graham Wideman has two books that go beyond DVS and the online help.

Thanx a lot for the information, John, I'll check out the link and see about the books.

While I have "got" you, have you got any idea how to use VBA to set up the helping lines that you can pull from the top or the left? Being as I have got the German version of Visio, I can't even begin to guess what they might be called in English or VBAish.

All the best,

I am not sure what you are specifically referring to, but if you post the question in the German newsgroup,
microsoft.public.de.german.visio
Senaj Lelic or Chris Roth should be able to help. John... Visio MVP
