Catching events

[PKSpence]

Can someone provide an example of event notification in Visio? Apparently
neither the Document or Page objects expose a OnBefore_Print event, or
something similar. I'm needing to change the page title of each page before
it's printed. This is to get around the apparent 30-character limit for page
names.

The event log shows this when printing:

BeforeModal
AfterModal

EnterScope Print [1010;0;Print]

<ExitScope Print [1010;0;Print]

Which doesn't look like much use, as far as catching any useful events.

You can replace the print command in the MenuItem and ToolBarItem objects
that call print by manipulating Visio's UI object.

What IS the problem with printing? I could make a page name very long, and
still print it out. What problem are you having?

When I change the name of an existing page, or create a new page, I can only
enter 31-characters as the page name. Any characters after the 31st are
ignored. BTW, I'm using Visio EA SP2, if that makes any difference.

That is because you have reached the limit for page names.

Duh?! That's the reason for my original post. I was hoping there was a way
around this by trapping a Page_OnPrint event, or something similar, so I can
change it as each page is printed. Evidently neither the Visio document or
page object exposes an OnPrint event. Even when considering Visio Event
Objects, there seems to be no command ID associated with printing.
Considering the object model of M$ products, this seems like a major
oversight to me.

.... Still don't understand why you need to try to use more than 31 chars.
