Hello all,

How to close the shape window in visio using vba?

Thanks in advance.

[Jumpy]

Is shape window the window where all the open stencils are listed?

[chathavardhan]

Let me explain you, I am duplicating multiple pages using vba while running the program visis automatically opens the stencil wilndow, for example if i duplicate 10 pages it opens 10 stencil window and this make the process slow i want to close that stencil window.

Thank you

Like this

Call Application.ActiveWindow.Windows.ItemFromID(visWinIDShapeSearch).Close

I tried but nothing happens the program runs successfully without any error and the stencil window is still opened and not getting closed.

"Let me explain you, I am duplicating multiple pages using vba while running the program visis automatically opens the stencil wilndow", are all of the pages that are being duplicated from the same source document? The reason for the question is that if they are from different documents it may be the opened workspace that is bringing forward the stencil.
