Access 'Pan & Zoom' image

[John]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to programmatically access the
thumbnail / view of a complete page that you get from the 'Pan & Zoom'
window?

Best regards

John

The following will make it visible.

Application.ActiveWindow.Windows.ItemFromID(visWinIDPanZoom).Visible =
True

This will hide the window

Application.ActiveWindow.Windows.ItemFromID(visWinIDPanZoom).Close

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. What I'm trying to get to is the page image that the
Pan & Zoom window produces rather than the Pan & Zoom window itself.

Thinking about it, is that image kind of a small print preview image?

What I'm trying to do is to create some way of moving a selection to a
different part of a large page (thereby saving long drag and scroll effort).
So far I've added a number of "marker" shapes that I send a selection to,
and then "ScrollViewTo". A better solution would be to have a control that
displayed a small image of the page that the user could then select the page
xy to send the selection to.

First step is to be able to get that page image.

Have I made sense?

Thanks again

John

Hello John
The Code Librarian in the Visio 2003 SDK (available as a free download from
the Microsoft web site) includes some VB.NET and C# code for a print preview
option which I think could provide a solution for what you're trying to
achieve. The print preview option is listed under the publishing node of the
Code Librarian treeview.

I hope this helps

Thanks, Roger. I'll take a look.
