Hi,
I am new to visio, and am using it in my job. My boss wants me to make a diagram of rectangular shapes and when they are clicked a dropdown list will display beside it with a list of values. How would I go about doing this. I already have all the shapes but need to figure out how to make the lists appear.
Thanks very much
Aidan
here is a non VBA approach
- in shapesheet...eventdoubleclk = docmd(1312)
- use shape data (props section shape sheet) to define the fields to show
- can have a lot and use formulas in the hide cells
- If you want to get slick, can do hierarchy (1st drop down defines the subset to see....2nd drop down defines details of subset)
suggestions
- start small
- make a square
- open shapesheet...set eventdouble click...maybe define a prop.cell or 2
- make sure it works / play around with it.
- Then go large

Good luck
