Automating Visio {RESOLVED}

Has anyone ever automated the creation of shapes and connectors in Visio? I have no problem creating a shape and placing it on the drawing, however, I have searched and searched and I cannot find any code on how to draw a connector between two shapes that I have created. I think I have to do something with specifying which connector on the shape I would use, but I just cant figure it out. I am downloading the SDK to see if that has any examples.

Here is what I have for drawing the shapes onto the pages:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
Dim x As New Visio.Application
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
'Load my template, so I know the right stencils are loaded
x.Documents.Add App.Path & "\Default.vst"
 
'Create some shapes
Dim objSHape1 As Visio.Shape
Dim objSHape2 As Visio.Shape
Set objSHape1 = TestDropShape("Process", 2, 2)
Set objSHape2 = TestDropShape("Decision", 4, 2)
 
'
'
'How do I connect objShape1 and objShape2??
'
'
 
'Resize to fit what I have drawn
x.ActiveDocument.Pages(1).ResizeToFitContents
 
'Show the visio
x.Visible = True
 
'Free up the application object
Set x = Nothing
End Sub
 
 
Public Function TestDropShape(strName As String, dblTop As Double, dblLeft As Double) As Visio.Shape
Dim stencil As Visio.Document, mstCircle As Visio.Master
 
'Get the stencil I want to use
Set stencil = x.Documents.Item("Basic Flowchart Shapes (US units).vss")
 
Set mstCircle = stencil.Masters(strName)
 
Dim objShape As Visio.Shape
'Drop the shape on the first page
Set objShape = x.ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Drop(mstCircle, dblTop, dblLeft)    
 
'Set the text to some value
objShape.Text = "A"
 
'Return the shape
Set TestDropShape = objShape
End Function

Got it, in case anyone ever needsit, here's the code I added:

VB Code:

Dim stnObj As Visio.Document
Dim mstObjConnector As Visio.Master
Dim shpObjconnector As Visio.Shape
 
 Set stnObj = x.Documents.OpenEx("Basic Shapes.vss", visOpenDocked)
 Set mstObjConnector = stnObj.Masters("Dynamic connector")
 Set shpObjconnector = x.ActivePage.Drop(mstObjConnector, 0, 0)
 
    shpObjconnector.SendToBack
    shpObjconnector.Text = ""
    shpObjconnector.Cells("BeginX").GlueTo objSHape1.Cells("PinX")
    shpObjconnector.Cells("EndX").GlueTo objSHape2.Cells("PinY")

Negative0, here are some good threads that I helped with, for future reference or maybe
help with this one even though its resolved. :thumb:
