Activate View Layer Properties by Clicking Graphic??

B

BobZ

I'm new to this arena, but I'm hoping this is a stupid easy request. I've
got a Visio doc with multiple layers and I want to put a control or icon or
graphic on the drawing so that when users click it, it shows the View Layer
Properties window and they can control layers. My users don't know Visio
layers well enough to know this feature exists in the menus or toolbar.

I don't know VB or controls well enough. I tried recording a macro to
assign to a control but in Visio you can't record showing the Layer
Properties dialogue becasue the Record Macro buttons don't work when the
dialogue is opened (is there a way around this?).

Can you give a poor non-developer a solution???
