Expanding Hierarchy on click

[Elke Schmitt]

Hi,

I´d like to use Visio to display a hierarchy, and it should be able to
expand or reduce on double-click, just like Windows-Explorer does with the
filesystem. Is that possible? And if, where can I start, are there any
examples or ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Elke

Hi Elke

This isnt easy to achieve as Visio has no simple built-in functionality of
this sort.
You can do this via VBA code though by setting the child shapes on a hidden
layer.
When the double-click event is detected, show the hidden layer and connect
the parent and child shapes with a connector.

A sample solution would be the Organization chart which has similar
functionality.
