Assign macro to toolbar button

[F.H. van Zelm]

Hi,

I'm a newbe to Visio (v 2003), so ... probably this is a rather stupid
question.

How can I assign a macro to a custom button in a custom toolbar?
(Assigning to shapes double click is no problem.)

I also use Word, Excel, PPt (and Access). In those programs, you
1 create your macro
2 add a toolbar (Tools-Customize-tab Toolbars)
3 drag a macro button to the new toolbar (tab Commands, category Macros)
4 in Excel, additionally assign the macro

No go in Visio. And the help doesn't ... help.

As far as I know this cannot be done in Visio.

Hi Frans,

In the help section of the visual basic editor you will find an example
called
"toolbars_example". It is in the section 'toolbars property'
Make the following changes to the code:
change vsoToolbarItem.CmdNum = visCmdPanZoom
to
vsoToolbarItem.AddOnName = "ThisDocument.yourmacro"

Run the macro and the result is a toolbar button created at at the left side
of your window which.
Click on the button to activate your macro
