Visio, VB Form, OLE control

[Jitesh]

Hi,

I want to put a Visio drawing on a Visual Basic 6.0 form
and then want to control shapes at runtime (changing
colors, text, etc). I created a sample VB application and
on the form added an OLE control with a Visio drawing in
it. At runtime when I change any property of a shape on
the drawing, the whole drawing refreshes and it flickers
too much. Is there any way to avoide flickering? Is there
any other way to use a Visio drawing on a VB form? I tried
Visio Viewer 2002 control. But, it doesn't return the
Visio.Page object from its Object property.

Thanks in advance,
Jitesh

I've heard of a few people using an embedded Internet Explorer control to
host Visio documents. I believe that there's a problem with getting a bunch
of security dialog boxes, but this may depend on your security level.

Sorry I don't have more details or samples...
