Hello everyone!

Visio 2002: I added some hyper links to shapes on my background sheet.
Problem: The hyper links do not work on foreground sheets using that
background sheet (full screen mode F5). I can see the shapes but I can not
click them.

Is it possible to use hyperlinks on background sheets?

Thank you!
Andreas

Doesn't look like it. Connection points on background pages don't work
either even though they are visible.

Thank you for your answer.

But in my opinion is it a missing functionality, that hyperlinks on
background sheets are not working (Visio 2002). Is this also the matter in
all later Visio versions?

Hello Al,

thank you for your answer. In my opinion it is a missing functionality. Is
there any workaround - my be using VBA?

Thank you for the additional information.

I am using Visio to develop the GUI for a webbased application. The
different dialogues are on different sheets. My intention was to put all
framework (header, menu) on a background sheet. That works well except the
menu is not clickable.

Visio is an ideal tool for designing the GUI and to show screenflow. There
are no developer skills necessary and a good result can be achieved quickly.
But without the "requestet" feature it is very laborious to change the menu
(links) on 50 sheets.

Can you see my point?

A way around this would be to create a page with all your framework
shapes and put them on a layer. Now make all the shapes on that layer
can be protected (select all the shapes, then menu Format ->
Protection) and menu Format -> Behavoir and turn off the Selection
highlighting.
Save that as a template. Now all the shapes are safe and the
hyperlinks on those shapes still wrok.
