VISIO 2002 Add-ins

[calvinX]

Hi All,

My question is simple: How do I call code in my addin from the menu? I
have the menu objects and everything just need to know how to reference a
visio add-in and call a public method.

Thanks

Hi Calvin

I had to do the same, and that's what I did:
I created my add-in as a ActiveX Type Library.
Then with VBA I imported this library and created some macros which make
the calls to the library of my add-in.
Finally, I called the macros from the menu objects to execute the public
methods...

Hope that somehow helps

Daniel

Thanks for the info but I really need to get away from exposing code in the
document or the stencils. Is there a way to use the RUNADDON function to do
this?

If you mean a COM Ad-in, then you could cause a specific cell value to
change in Visio, and listen to its formula changed event in the COM addin.
Then respond with your required actions depending upon the cells values.

You need to use QueueMarkerEvent.

Generally you can't call add-in method in menu and shapesheet cell.
