Drag and drop Datagrid cell on to the visio control leaving visio shape selected

[faraz]

I have a form with two controls. visio control is on left side and grid
control on right side. I want to enable the drag and drop functionality
between them.

I actually want to select one row from the datagrid and drag and drop
it on any shape in the visiocontrol so that the shape is selected..
...and i will be able to change the text of the shape to dropped row's
cell data.

Let me know if this is possible .......and how can i acheive
this.......


any help is appreciated...... !


thanks

visio 2007 professional has a 'datarecordset' functionality that allows a
user to link shapes to recordsets. There are a couple of issues with it if
you want to 'round-trip' the data (i.e. link data from the recordset to the
shape and then have the updated shape update the recordset) but they can be
overcome with a little coding.
