how to run a macro from automation client

[ms]

hi all,

is there any possibility to run a macro from automation client?

in word or excel there is a "run" method, but it seems that it's not
implemented in visio :/

any suggestions?

Hi MS,

You can get a list of add-ons from the application property and call
..Run on them:

But I don't think this approach will work for VBA macros. You might be
able to get at them by automating the VBA project via Application.VBE.

If the Visio document is opened in the Visio viewer or in the Visio
ActiveX control, however, the VB project might not be accessible.

Have you tried the .ExecuteLine method of the document containing the macro?
You basically just enter the name of the macro with any arguments and the
document will execute the macro...
