Browsing VSSX files

[mlussier]

Hi,

I need to create a search engine that will browse in all of my custom stencils (around 20 stencils). The search option in Visio doesn't work well and only finds a couple of shapes.
So I'm thinking of opening all of my stencils silently (will probably multi thread) and search in the xml file of the vssx for masters with the wanted shape name.
I then create a list of file found with the shape name and then the user can see which stencil has what shape he wants.

I can't find any solution on how to open and browse in the vssx file since they are "zipped" file.

Any idea or other solution that is viable is welcomed.

Thanks
