Title: How to force/ensure developer mode turned on??
Post by: vojo on November 14, 2018, 03:17:48 PM
So on 2013, developer mode icon removed from the UI about 1 out of every 3 documents opened or created
(thus need to goto advanced options to reenable developer mode)

Is there some sort of way to force developer mode in all cases

I would like to stay away from a VBA routine tied to document open event if at all possible.

As far as I know developer mode isn't on a per document basis, it is either on or off for the whole application.

Isn't it wonderful, however much (or little) one thinks one knows (or thinks one knows) about Visio there is always that little surprise awaiting around the corner.

...Yeah.  But it would be nice if those corner surprises were nice instead of "Ha! Ha!  Gotcha!"

saving settings in registry does not appear to solve the problem.

Although relatively minor, I can add this to my list of "Fubars of visio 2013"  I think I am up to 14 or so now.
Talk about a solution looking for a problem to solve!!!!   I can only imagine how bad 2016 is!!!!

Thanks all
