ActiveX Control "New Document" ?

[Anne Nonyme]

Hi

I try to clear the contents of Visio ActiveX Control, same as doing a "New
Document". How to do that, "Document.Close" do no work with control.

Thanks
Anne

Found this in my tech-stash:

Using Blank Documents in the Control

To load a blank drawing in the control when the control is initialized for
the first time, set the Src property to an empty string. However, if you
want to emulate creating a new blank drawing in the control after loading an
existing drawing document, you have three choices:

· Select all and delete all shapes in the drawings. This
approach allows the developer to preserve any existing styles in the
currently loaded document.

· Load a new, blank document using the Src property.

· Dynamically destroy and reinitialize the Visio drawing
control in the document.

I do :

foreach ( Page l_Page in m_VisioCtrl.Document.Pages )
{
l_Page.Delete (0);
}

And it works. Thanks

One of the three methods mentioned by Chris is preferred. I do not
recommend deleting the last page in a document to make it blank. This can
cause unpredictable results.

The preferred method is to load a blank document. This means using the SCR
property to load a blank document that you have explicitly created and put
on your file system.

Selecting and deleting shapes may leave layers and other legacy items in the
document. Dynamically destroying and intializing the control seems like
overkill.
