Coding Diagrams with VBA

[Stephen Clower]

Hi folks,

I am a blind student working towards a BS in BCIS. A lot of the work I am
doing now involves reading and creating business and technical diagrams. The
industry standard for such work is Visio, and that is what I am required to
use in my coursework. My visual impairment obviously makes it nearly
impossible to draw diagrams in the traditional way, but I figure it should
be possible to code one using Visio's DOM with VBA. I haven't found much on
MSDN on how to do this which is why I'm posting here. I would be very
greatful for any samples, tips, or even general pushes in the right
direction. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

- All my best,
- Steve

You might also want to look within the Visio 2003 SDK where there are
examples of how to create a COM object which reads the details of what needs
to be created from an Excel file - creates the Visio drawing and also gives
you the option to export to word or the web
