I would like to change the properties of Shapes window from VBA.
Specifically:
- Set to "Names under icons"
- Set width to show 2 instead of 3 columns of shapes.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Paul

IMHO we can't set "Names under icons" in Shapes window

Well that's a bummer.
Since it's a user command and Visio's object model is pretty much available I was hoping it was a simple set this property someplace.
Of course then record macro and doing the user command yields nothing of value that I can see so does that mean "can't be done?"

That's part of what I call the Visio framework, and not user configurable.

Still a bummer -- but thanks for confirmation -- Visio still an awesome platform.
