Code to Hide the Document Stencil

[meks]

Hello Guys,

How can I call the Visio dockable windows such as shape properties, pan and zoom, document stencil etc. in VBA code? or Shapesheet?

I want to set standards for my drawing that when a user opens it, the shape properties, pan and zoom etc., are automatically open except for the document stencil. Visio automatically opens the document stencil whenever you open a drawing, I dont want the document stencil to be open during initialization.

Thanks.

Try searching on visWinIDShapeSearch (or visWinIDPanZoom)

Don't quite get what you mean by "syntax".
To get those special windows in VBA just use "myWindow.Windows.ItemFromID(...special window id here...)

IMHO (broadly speaking) you are not supposed to "set standards" for user settings.
AFAIK these settings (visibility of "special" windows) are not drawing-specific, they are user settings "shared" between all drawings.

the quick/shortcut for finding the correct window id's is to turn on the macro recorder and then use the menu to show/hide the windows that you want to take control of. The id's are captured in your macro..
