Creating Flow Charts Automatically

[aveltri]

I am trying to build functionality where I can store flow chart properties in
a database and have flow charts built on demand.

Is there such a possibility using visio and SQL?

Thanks,
-Tony

Tony,

I've got a simple tutorial for this: "Create Visio Flowcharts
Programmatically" up on my web site:

http://www.visguy.com/2006/09/13/create-visio-flowcharts-programmatically/

Once you see how to tell Visio how to draw a flowchart, you'll be able to
see that you could easily get the info from a database and automate the
drawing process.
