Passing Information from one shape to another through the Connector

[Mazen]

Hello,

I need to pass data from shape A to shape B through the use of the connector object. I'm designing shapes that represent cameras and shapes that represent monitors. I would like to pass information defined for the Camera shape to cells within the Monitor shape, and vice versa. The passed data will be used to configure the way the linked shape draws on the screen.

Also, is there a way for a Viso shape to read the current Windows resolution? (i.e. the resolution of the workstation that Visio is running on).

Thank you

This article from David Parker should be helpful for your first problem:

Thanks,

The shapes include some VB code, though. I was hoping to find something that did not include macros. However, it's a good start.

Thanks for your reply. I have David Parker's book. It's one of the best I've read on Visio.

Need VBA (though I have done it without...but really not a practical approach....very convoluted/complex to achieve via cells)
