Visio's Macro Warning Prompt Be Surpressed When Automating In Code?
Jun 24, 2009
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 have written some Makros and Functions in VB all code works fine behind my Document. To save my code and make it available to other users I want to create a COM-add-in for VIsio. So i bought Visual Studio 2008 and I want to import my code to it.
Is it possible to include my exported .cls file to my Visual Studio COM-Add-on Projekt?
this code was not done by me originally and there are some thigns here i dont quite understand i have altered it a bit from my coworkers code to suit my data and it works. but too slow. and when i have 4000+kb excel files it might freeze altogether. ( I have checked tho that when and after this transposer runs it will still be within the excel row limit, i had done calculations before and made a macro to automatically split excel files based on number of columns and rows to make sure this is so ). This code seems to start out fast then goes slower the longer it runs. at least this is what it seems liek to me.
I've been mostly working with VB.Net for over a year and just noticed this Am I going insane, or does VB.Net NOT have an "Unreachable code" warning? The following compiles quite happily with nary a warning or error, even though there is a return between the two writeline calls.
Is it possible to call the VB code formatter from within a macro? I wrote a macro that automatically adds a call to the logger in side an function or sub when it is created. But when I change the TextEditor.Enter command to my macro, no code formating takes place. Is there a way to call the original command Edit.BreakLine(Enter(TextEditor)) ??
"Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated".I have this message showing up that references this code in the keyup event:[code]I am just testing the trapping of keys right now. The code still works but I am uncomfortable with an unresolved warning.
I'm writing a macro to automate the process of attaching to the IIS worker process (w3wp.exe, Windows Server 2k8) from Visual Studio. The trouble is that I often two app pools running at any given time, one in x64 mode and one in x86 mode. This means there are two processes called w3wp.exe running at any given time, and the only way to distinguish between them is the mode they are running in. When I use the "Attach to Process" dialog, there is a "Type" column that shows that information so I know which w3wp.exe to attach to, but I can't figure out how to get that information in my macro.[code]....
I am converting a VB6 program to VB express and am having a couple of problems. One of them is a problem with the variable "strEncTemp". I have the warning "Variable strEncTemp is used before it has been assigned a value", and I can't assign a value to this variable without creating issues. It also seems that a null value is being returned and the code produced by this routine is corrupt. This seems to be the last issue I have in converting the code. I tried setting it to 0 but it then shuts down the program with an error. This is the portion of code that has the warning and produces a null value. [Code]
I am creating a MS Access database. The database will import a table from another Access database, query for selected data within a date range. Thus, I am having difficulty with the Macro code to import the initial table. Therefore, what's the code to import a table from another access database? The database is names InputContract.mdb.
I need to be able to forward all incoming mail to another email address. The email address I need to forward to will always be the same. I can forward any mail message manually however using the rules will not work. I therefore need another method via a macro or something.
i get a warning " 'functionDealWithHiddenFields' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used."
Example function:
vb.net Function functionDealWithHiddenFields(ByVal HTML As String, ByVal numHiddenFields As Integer, ByVal X As Integer) Try
[code]....
The functions still work correctly (as far as i can tell) what would i need to do to the above function to remedy that warning?
I have this VB crypter I am trying to build, but I am getting 2 warnings. I Would like some help if someone has the time. Please PM me and ill send you the crypt.Warning 1 Function 'ReadEOFData' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used. I:Usersn oahDesktopI am CrypterI am CrypterForm1.vb 189 13 I am Crypter

I'm writing a macro in Excel to connect to a button on an MS Excel 2007spreadsheet. When clicked the button copies some data from the file and uses the data to create a new .txt file. Since the macro is creating the file I can control the file name and storage location. Once created I want to e-mail the text file to a standard e-mail address.
ActiveWorkbook.EnvelopeVisible = True With ActiveSheet.MailEnvelope .Introduction = Range("T22")
I'm have a program (GUI) that interfaces with excel to execute macros. We're using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel to call/run the macros and this works great.What I can't figure out is a good way to cancel the macros from the GUI.One idea we had was to use the excel.application variable that runs the macros to write a "stop" value to a specific cell in the workbook, and in the macros (they are all mostly loops), check for the "stop" value in that cell. This crashes my GUI with this The program '[2188] BVLReports.vshost.exe: Managed' has exited with code -336589910 (0xebf00baa).And excel gets tied up, and won't respond. I know how to Exit Sub from within the macro if the "stop" value exists, so I don't need answers on how to check/cancel from inside the macro. Any ideas on a better way to write this "stop" value or a better way to cancel the macros externally?
I am looking for an easy way to have a command prompt like interface for my form. The idea is to make it an interactive text interface. Here is an example of what it might look like > Hi Hello! > How are you? I am fine! >_So it's very much like a chat. BTW, I am not referring to what the example is, just the concept of a command prompt, that I can create a scrollback buffer for. Very much like a MSDOS prompt.
Couldn't think of a better title.(Background on the problem/me)Okay, so, first question/post here, so hi. Now that that's done with, the information pertinent to my problem. I'm fairly new to VB (and programming as well, aside from screwing around with C++ and learning assembler(well, attempting is the better word) god knows how many years ago), and have only seriously been programming for about under half a year, and my skill level is about at that stage. Only been using VB.Net, nothing older. Depending on the time of day and if I'm home or at school, I fluxuate between VB express and Vis Studio 08. Umm, this program I'm having trouble with was on a test that I took yesterday (took the problem home with me cause I really wanted to figure out what was wrong with it).
The stipulations of the test were: No For->Each Loops No using Built-In Sorting or Searching Functions
I'm trying to code an 'increase' button to prompt a user to input a rate by which to increase select prices in an array.It should request the increased rate, then request a number from one to five, representing which price in the array to increase.Then, if 'increase' button is selected again and another number from one to five is chosen, then that element should be increased.It's working, but all the numbers in the array are changed. And, when I hit the increase button again, the array is repopulated below the first price increases instead of only replacing the designated price.
'declare 5 element array of prices Dim prices() As Double = {12.2, 8.5, 12, 50, 2.4} Dim rateIncrease As Decimal Dim isConverted As Boolean
I am having some major problems with the code in VBA and recording a macro didn't get me anywhere nor is the VBA help file. I have to have it so that I can input a values for the x axis rotation and the y axis rotation so that my 3d surface graph will rotate whatever values I input, the 3d surface graph will rotate those degrees. I also have to have a method for having the default rotation. I was also wondering how to put scroll bars for the x and y rotation. The only other thing I am having trouble with is having an input to check box for right angle axes. So far I have two cells for entering the x rotation value and the y rotation value. I also already have my 3d surface graph.
How can i get visio like editor in vb.net. so that end user can create or move controls, like text box,labels & combo box. I need this for reporting purpose where user can place the controls as he wanted.
i would like to ask how to add a text box in visio using a command button in visual basic editor without making a new stencil. i can do it by making a new stencil made from a rectangle and by just removing its corners. but i would like to know how to add a text box w/o using such way. also, in the text box, i would like the caption to be something like for example:
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?
I am trying to glue a shape to another in Visio using GlueTo
Here is the code
Set trgObj = Cell.shape.Document.Masters("Trigger").Shapes(1) Dim x As shape Set x = ActivePage.Drop(trgObj, flowConnector.CellsU("PinX"), flowConnector.CellsU("PinY")) Dim vsoCell1 As Visio.Cell
[code].....
it returns "Inappropriate target object for this action", but what is strange is that the code i am using I obtained from recording a macro. I can't understand why the code works when I record it in a macro but when I use it it doesn't.
I have a visio flowchart that represents sequence of questions to enter an order. I wrote a VB 2008 program, that represents steps from this flowchart in a wizard-like questionnaire. Now I'm asked to represent this flowchart graphically in a window,and make each step clickable. Clicking on a flowchart box would open the relevant wizard page. Can someone suggest how I can accomplish this, or know of some article or example that would point me in the right direction?
