controlling Visio Viewer 2003

[Steve Gröber]

Hi,

is there any possibility to control the visio viewer 2003 from outside?

I want to open the viewer in the browser and center (or markup) a specific
shape, which the user chooses before.

Greetz, Steve

Visio Viewer has no program interface.

But does it have any COM-Server or another possibility to access the shapes
which are displayed by the viewer?

Visio Viewer has no program interface.

That's not correct. The API is not documented, but it exists. If you are
using a development environment like Visual Studio, you can explore the API
by using the Intellisense functionality.

Best regards,
Markus

Does it work with the Visio Drawing Control?

This is the best reference I've found so far to the viewer and putting it on
a web-form.

the alternative of using the visio activex drawing control means the user
has to have
visio installed on their system.
