Visio [RESOLVED]

[Andy]

Where is the proper place to post questions about Microsoft Visio? Maybe we should have a seperate forum for that? Since it doesn't really target ONE language but rather a shlew of languages and other stuff.

Just a suggestion

Depends on what your doing I would say. If your automating it with VBA code then it would go in the VBA forum. If you need help
on using it or setting stuff up then the GD forum is good. If your automating it from another program then either VBA or the language
forum of the language your using to do it.

RobDog888 is right. Move than likely, you will be setting a reference to the Microsoft Visio Library within your project, so questions should be directed to the forum covering the language that you are using.

actually i meant using visio directly...I have not plans, yet, to use it through a programming languange.. Since that's the case i suppose GD is the correct forum

thanks all!

Ok, but if you need any Visio automation examples from VB6 you can search for them by my member name for a few
good long threads on it.

Visio is used with VB.NET/C# too, you can post it in just about any MS-Technology forum here.

I actually had no idea you could automate visio. Is it safe to assume that all MS products can be programmed? I know the office products can, i now now Visio can...What else can be?

[Andy]

While we're on the subject, what other software can do flowcharting and UML drawings? Visio has it's limitations and I want to explore other software packages.

[RobDog888]

Visio is like an extended optional Office application. Same as Project, One Note, Front Page, etc. They all have VBA support and
are possible to program against. With Office you just get a core of apps but you can buy the others as stand alone apps.

When VSTS comes out, you can have the entire project life cycle (just about) in there, and it'll include your UMLs.
