Post subject: message on double clicking a shape Archived from groups: microsoft>public>visio>general (more info?)
I was wondering how to have a custom message pop up when a user double clicks
a shape. I am using visio 2000 and know its possible but have never used the
shapesheet before and probably wouldnt know what fields to enter information
into if someone posted code for me to be able to do this.

you might want to check help for tooltips and comments (these are mouse over
tools). anything beyond that would probably require you to create macros and
call them from the eventdblclick in the shapesheet (that being the easiest).

For Visio 2000, start Visio. Menu Tools -> Options -> File Paths
and add "C:/Program Files/sandrila" to the Add-ons path.
(if there is already something there then put a ; between them)
Later versions of Visio are similar but slightly different ways of
getting to the file paths menu.
Load the included drawing into Visio and double click the shape.
The shape's shapesheet Events EventDblClick cell contains
=RUNADDONWARGS("outputdialog.exe","here is some text")
