Activating Drop-Down

[saxso]

Does anyone know how to activate the drop-down list in
the "combo-box" user interface widget?

 

[Chris Roth [ Visio MVP ]]

On a VBA form?

You need to add items...

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.ComboBox1.AddItem ("bob")
Me.ComboBox1.AddItem ("sue")
End Sub

Or do you mean programmatically get it to drop down???

Hi Chris...

Thank you for the reply.

What I meant was that some stencils have properties that allow you to change
their display state.

For instance, a folder can be set to "Open" or "Closed" display state. It is
similar to what I want to do with the drop-down list; set the property show
the list "Expanded" and/or "Closed".

I remember some stencils have display state conditions where they can
display the various states.

Thank you for any information you can provide.

In Visio, you would add an Actions section to your shape and then insert a
row in the Actions section for each state you want to define. All this is
done in the Shapesheet (Window > Show Shapesheet).
