RE: Editing Text With Double Click

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


Hi
If I draw a text box, enter text, then create a master shape, drag it to a
drawing then I can modify the text using a single click.

If I create a rectangle or any combination of shapes, then add text, create
the master shape, drag to the drawing then I have to go through the double
click issue.

I have managedf to use the shape data input method to control the data
associated with each shape. SO i have found a work around.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I seem to be missing something here. The default dbl click behavior for a
Visio shape is text edit. If you draw a rectangle, dbl click --> text edit.
If you drag a shape from a stencil, dbl click --> text edit. There may be
some specialized shapes that don't show this behavior, but, I think it is the
norm. Are we talking about text within a shape, i.e., shape text?

Hi All
I've created a load of shapes and set the double cleck event to edit text,
however, if I drag a shap into a drawing and double click the text nothing
happens. I have to click on the text icon in order to edit it.

Does anyone know how I can get the double click function working?

Cheers,

Danny
