One way to do it is get familiar with the Visio's Document Object Model,
which is very well documented. You need then to create a set of Masters of
shapes that correspond to the data/objects in your file or control. After
accessing both your control and Visio's DOM, you may then programmatically
"drop" the instances of the masters for your data/objects. So the key is to
map your data with the DOM which consists of the modeling and storage
mechanism such as pages and shapes (instances of masters.)
