Re: Modify Popup menu to change current tool ?

A couple of more comments
1. add-ins do require compilers.
2. vba code can live in stencils, stencils do not have to have shapes associated with them. That means when you want your code you can open your 'custom' stencil with it's embedded vba.
3. yes, documents dervied from templates inherit the code (at least last time I looked).

Hi Al,

Thanks for the reply! You have flushed out my problem a little
further. I did not know about addins and that they have persistence. I
am not sure what you mean about a template. Does that mean all
documents derived from a template would inherit the vba code ?

Well, I still do not know what I want or need. If some other addin
language works and does not need a compiler I'd be happy with that. If
it comes to loading a macro vb script each time i open certain files ,
I could live with that but I prefer to make it persistent.

Okay I believe you are probable right about it being doable with the
sdf examples, so that is a big help . It gives me the confidence to
try it. I spend hours making a silly script work that will load in
directory of images and put four images per autocreated page. I am not
a great vba programmer but with examples and a lot of (this is
hopefully where the usenet group maybe helpful) hacking around time
I'll probably arrive at something.

well, let's kinda put our arms around what I think I read,

"examples of visio vba code" - infers that you want to write it in vba which
conflicts with "Plus have this functionality automatically start when I run
visio". The reason is that vba runs in a document, so you would have open
the same document template everytime. To reach the objective of "opens when
visio starts" would suggest you should investigate writing it as as an
addin.

The desire to create custom menus is doable with examples in the visio sdk.
