I believe you can do this if you have Visual Basic 6 with Service Pack 6 installed.

It has an insertable object for Microsoft Visio 11.0 Drawing Control Library and Microsoft Visio Drawing. I think you will want to use the Mricrosoft Visio Drawing object.

Just right click in the tool box then click on components and in the compnents window click on the tab Insertable Objects. Go down to Microsoft Vision Drawing and put a check mark in the box and click Apply. This adds it to the tool box.

One hint I could give you is to make your VB form as large as possible before you add the Vision Drawing to your form.

Good Luck

I am sorry, but I do not have any applications that I have made with Visio in VB.

I did not know you could use Visio in VB until I saw your question and then I tried it and it worked.

Just try it and see if it works for you.

If you have some other questions, come on back here and maybe someone can answer them for you.

Good Luck

I don't think you can do as you are asking.

It sounds to me like you are basically trying to include all of the functions of Visio within your VB application. If you could do that then you could just sell your applicatioin or give it away and no one would have to buy Visio.

I don't think Mr. Gates would like that.

I think you are limited to creating certain drawings and shapes in Visio and including those in your VB application much the same was as you do with an Access database of Excel workbook.

You might try a Google search under Visual Basic 6 and Vision and see what you find.

Actually I wana to use specific toolbar of Visio in my project,ie Fault tree drawing tool bar...and user can use this tool bar for drawing and for mathmatical analysis it has seperate module.....So i need the viso only for drawing purpose..use only one specific toolbar not whole viso programm....I expect ur sugesstion in this regards...

I said in one of my previous responses " I did not know you could use Visio in VB until I saw your question and then I tried it and it worked."

I am not a Visio expert, in fact I don't really know anything about it and have only used it just a little.

That being said, I am still of the opinion that all you can do is to use Visio to draw certain object within your VB6 project. I don't believe you can include the entire Fault tree drawing tool bar in your project so others can use it from within your project.

The Fault drawing tool bar would be a component of Visio, as would the other tool bars. And, I don't think you can include an entire component in your VB6 project.

I may be wrong about this, but I really don't know and therefore I cannot give you the information you are hoping for.

I feel quite certain that there must be some Vision Forums out there on the Web and if you use the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, AltaVista, Lycos, etc., etc.) I think you will be able to find some of them.

I just went to Lycos.com and typed in Vision Forum and got this returned:

This is a Vision Forum and very possibly someone there can answer your question.

Unfortunately, no matter how many Help, Help, Help's you put in your request I cannot help you because I do not know.

Good Luck
