I am trying to create a visio flow chart with visual basic 2005 but I keep running into the same problem. I have added a reference to the Microsoft Visio type Library, but when I try to Declare a variable as a Visio.Application of Visio.Document I get an error "Visio.Application not defined" It seems as if adding the COM reference to the Visio Type Library has no effect. Is there some setup that I am missing?

View 3 RepliesI have started a little project for myself to become a little more accustomed to drawing in VB.NET. I decided to make an application that looks a little bit like Microsoft Visio.
Until now, I have been able to create an image 'layer' on a blank PictureBox by clicking somewhere in the PictureBox. When I click on such an image layer, it is selected (and a blue rectangle, and its text are drawn). I can also drag the selected image layer.
The code for this is as follows:
The ImageLayer class:
vb.net
Public Class ImageLayer
#Region " Properties "
[Code]....
how to do all this; I'm starting to fear this project is going to be a little much for me...
So, do I really have to do everything manually? So the images locations, their size etc should all depend on the zoom level? Or is there something 'premade' I can use?
I'm automating Visio 2003 from a VB.NET app. My code looks like this (with the uninteresting stuff removed):
Dim objApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.InvisibleApp
objApp.Settings.ShowFileOpenWarnings = False
Dim objDoc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.Document
objDoc = objApp.Documents.Open(VisioFilename)
I've found that the last line causes Visio to raise a hidden MessageBox saying:
Macros in this document are disabled because the security level is high, and the macros have not been digitally signed or verified as safe. To run the macros, you can either have them signed or change your security level.Since this is going to be running on computers I don't control with files I don't control neither of those options works for me. I really don't care that the macros are disabled, I'm just using Visio to convert the file from it's native format to SVG. I certainly don't want to suggest to users that they lower the security level, nor would I want to lower it for them.
As you can see from my code above, I turn off file open warnings but that doesn't seem to include the macro warning. Since I'm using Visio.InvisibleApp it turns out the warning isn't displayed to the user. Running a visible instance of Visio won't help because I'm creating a batch converter, even if the message was visible it means the user would have to click OK for each file. That would make the batch conversion feature essentially useless.
I see that the Visio class has a VBAEnabled property but it's read only. If there was a way I could just turn off VBA when opening the file it would likely solve the problem. I've looked all through the properties and through the Settings property on the class and can't find anything. I've done a bunch of Google searching and can't find anything that addresses this issue.Anyone know if that warning can be suppressed when using automation with Visio? Can I do it if I switch to Visio 2007?
i want to write a code that user can drag and drop an icon to layout which this layout become consist of coordinate (x,y) and when icon was dropped to layout by right click appear a menu.

View 6 RepliesI have a question. I am creating a VB .NET application that opens Visio to do some stuff there. Visio runs a splash screen on startup and the only way to stop the splash screen from loading is to use code like:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeVisio10Visio.exe" /nologo
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeVisio11Visio.exe" /nologo
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeVisio12Visio.exe" /nologo
For each Visio versions in the command line (but I am not using the command line).
The problem I am having is that I can't run this code from my vb .net application, because my application uses the following code to load Visio:
Dim vsoApplication As Application
vsoApplication = New Visio.Application()
vsoApplication.Visible = False
And I do not know how to call the "/nologo" feature on loading time from my code to skip the Visio splash screen.

I have been assigned the task of tracking training records used by multiple departments within my company. Before, they would fill out ISO Standard Forms that are built in MS Excel and save them in one folder. This folder held ALL of the documents used by multiple departments, training on multiple topics. The first assignment was to organize this, which I did by building macros in the forms to save these files in a document tree that was built dependent on some data from the form itself. Then they asked me for a program to make it easy to find these files, so I built a program that would populate a series of dropdown boxes that worked their way through the tree. Now they want to add a SQL database to track data from the sheet and add an archiving feature that checks the revision number of the form and moves it to another folder if there are higher revisions.

'mycode
End
Userform1.show
end sub
how should I proceed -- with a VB UserForm (eg upon clicking successively a Form Button) -- in order to have a [TextBox.Text] contain (in other words: to have a TextBox show), say, one sentence at a time, text obtained from a MS Word document.Then, also, since it is also essential to my ambitions: can I have all the functionalities of my twenty or so existing word macros (triggered each in Word itself by its corresponding shortcut) available for use in said Form's TextBox? Just as an example, I have macros to simply toggle words between singular and plural or that invert the relative positions of two words, while others are 100 lines long and do searches in another Word document containing glossary entries using bookmarks.I searched the Web for hours on end to get a foothold on this issue to no avail until someone finally hinted at "automation". Then a wealth of info surfaced, but so far I only managed to get as far as this:
Dim msword As Object
msword = CreateObject("Word.Application")
msword.Visible = True
Dim wordDoc As Object
wordDoc = msword.Documents.Open("C:\tests\mydoc.doc")
and, yes, I added references to Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library and to Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library to my project. I am using Microsoft VB 2010 Express.
What happens is this: When this code runs, first I get a message saying the file is "locked for edition" (or something similar, for mine is a Portuguese version of Word) because it is being use by another user (myself). How should I overcome this hurdle. Then, never minding this initial problem, the dialog box message error offers my the chance of opening a copy as read only. I accept this option and the Word document opens beautifully.But after many trials and only errors, I still don't know how to code so as to get, for example, the first sentence of the document in my TextBox. And, again, will I be able to run my Word macros in the TextBox?
I tried for example:
Selection.MoveRight(Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend)
and
wordDoc.Selection.MoveRight(Unit:=wdSentence, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend)
but they get blue/and/red underlined (illegal)Are Word VBA declarations per se not valid in VB? I have many more hurdles on the way I wish to such as (1) what tricks could I use so as no to loose original formatting when I finally learn how to get the sentences shown in the TextBox and subsequently paste them back into the Word document and (2) populating a ListBox with the content of a database record.
