Access master icons

[Daniel Moser]

Hi there

How can I access the Master's icon from a COM-Addin in Visio 2002?

I've already tried the master's Icon property, but whenever I try to
access the property, an error occurs.

thanks for any help

Daniel

You have to use a StdPicture object and then get it from the clipboard. I
used the following to paste the icons into a Word document...

Dim m As Visio.Master
Dim sp As StdPicture

For Each m In ThisDocument.Masters

m.ExportIcon "", visIconFormatBMP, VBA.RGB(255, 255, 255)

' Paste into Word selection
' wrdSel.PasteAndFormat wdPasteDefault

thanx... but unfortunately, I need the clipboard for other data... but I
solved it with storing the icons in the temp dir and loading them again.
