DOCMD(1312) go directly to the shape data field

[Mouthpear]

Is there a way that when an Action has DOCMD(1312) or any other code that will go directly to the shape data field that you are "selecting", instead of the top/first field.

Select "Insert Text Here"

Need it to go directly to that field.

IMHO: No way!

Ok I rephrased it. Is there any other code that can be used to make that happen.

ShapeSheet: No way, just show Shape Data window without any options...
VBA code: No way, SendKeys method dont work with Shape Data window. Because Shape Data window is open as modal window!

A silly idea: The sort order and the visibility fields of the prop rows can be filled with formulas instead of fix values.
One could define that when so and so happens then sortorder = 10, otherwise = 100
Or make only the relevant props visible: if so and so visibility = 1, else = 0

But jumping in the generic props window - as Surrogate already wrote - difficult! (aka impossible).

This might be possible, to a limited extent, using code, for a couple of the shapesheet sections.  That is, not all section can do this.  The mechanism is to select via cell row name.  See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/visio.cell.rowname.  It still requires, obviously, knowing the row name.

But, if you wanted to invoke the actual Shapedata Window at the specific line, and then proceed using normal User Interface, I don't think this will help.
