Re: Editing Text With Double Click

If you open your shape to look at the shapesheet, in the 'Events' section, there is a cell "EventDblClick". If you change that cell to "OPENTEXTWIN()", you should get what you want..

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?
