To work with Document Management Pane Programatically

[Hardik Bhilota]

HI,

I have added the Document Management pane by clicking Tool -> Document
Management in Visio Design Mode. We can upload the related document
for the current model through this document and we can also create the
work space for the document.

My requirement is I need to filter the document s that is shown in the
pane based on the Shape object clicked by the user on the page. Means
if a page called MyFlowChart in Visio contains two master "Decision"
and "Data" and there are 4 related document in document library of
share point site for page where "Decision1.doc" and "Decision2.doc"
for Decision shape and "Data1.doc" and "Data2.doc" for Data shape.
Then the document management pane shows all the documents related to
this page.

But I want to show only "Decision1.doc" and "Decision2.doc" in
Document Management Pane, if user clicks on Decision shape and
"Decision1.doc" and "Decision2.doc" in document pane if user clicks on
Decision shape.

I am trying to access the Document Management pane programmatically
but not getting any object model for the same.

Any help here will be highly appreciated, as the issue is about
changing the functionality of Visio Document Management Pane.

Thanking in advance.

I have got the response from a gentleman named Mr.Mark Nelson,
working with Microsoft. For the reference of others, I am posting the
received answer here.

"The Document Management pane is a shared Office component. Visio
does not provide ways to customize the behavior of this feature. You
will likely need to build your own pane (or Visio anchor window) to
present the information in the way you describe."

I have validated the answer and it is true that the Document
Management Pane is non customizable. Still any one can get into the
topic for brain storming purpose.
