COM Exception In Visio 2007

Asif

Hi all,

I am using Visio 2007 activeX control in our application using VB.net.
I am using Visio Application Class DoCmd Command to open different
Visio Dialog Forms like Text, Line Fill, and Spelling etc.

There are two issues in using DoCmd Command:

1- Once I click Cancel button of any Dialog Form (Text, Line Fill etc)
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException is thrown with the
following details.

ex.Message: "Cancel."
ex.TargetSite
{System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo}
[System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo]:
{System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo}
Attributes: 454
CallingConvention: 33
DeclaringType: {System.RuntimeType}
IsAbstract: False
IsAssembly: False
IsConstructor: False
IsFamily: False
IsFamilyAndAssembly: False
IsFamilyOrAssembly: False
IsFinal: False
IsHideBySig: True
IsPrivate: False
IsPublic: True
IsSpecialName: False
IsStatic: False
IsVirtual: True
MemberType: Method
MethodHandle: {System.RuntimeMethodHandle}
Name: "DoCmd"
ReflectedType: {System.RuntimeType}

2- If I try to open Format Style Dialog Form (VisioApp.DoCmd
(VisUICmds.visCmdFormatStyle)
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException is also thrown but with a
little bit different information

ex.Message:"Requested operation is presently disabled."
ex.TargetSite
{System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo}
[System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo]:
{System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo}
Attributes: 454
CallingConvention: 33
DeclaringType: {System.RuntimeType}
IsAbstract: False
IsAssembly: False
IsConstructor: False
IsFamily: False
IsFamilyAndAssembly: False
IsFamilyOrAssembly: False
IsFinal: False
IsHideBySig: True
IsPrivate: False
IsPublic: True
IsSpecialName: False
IsStatic: False
IsVirtual: True
MemberType: Method
MethodHandle: {System.RuntimeMethodHandle}
Name: "DoCmd"
ReflectedType: {System.RuntimeType}

Can anyone tell me about why it is happening and any workaround for
it?

Thanks

All dialogs of Visio return error message, when you press cancel button.
Please put On Error Resume Next in front of docmd line.

Hello Asif

Have you tried using the IOleCommandTarget COM interface rather than DoCmd?
When using the Visio 2003 Drawing Control I encountered errors when using
DoCmd for operations like spell check.

For details on using IOleCommandTarget with the Visio Drawing Control seehttp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa192480(office.11).aspx#off...

Thanks Billsdon, I did use the IOleCommandTarget COM interface
mentioned in given link which works well, but there are two issues
that are:

1- Some commands did not launch any Dialog Form like (Format Style)
this.SendCommand(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.VisUICmds.visCmdFormatStyle)

2-Call spell check command (visCmdToolsSpelling) launches the Spell
check Dialog Form but clicking on "OK" button on form that contains
the text "The spelling check is completed" , the mouse pointer
converts to "Hour Glass" and does not go away until you hit "ESC" key.

One more thing is that I am using Visio 2007 Drawing Control so there
is some thing more to fix the issue?

Thanks

Hello Asif

Maybe JuneTheSecond's "ToolButton made with OleCommandTarget for VB.Net"
sample code will help. SendKeys is another fallback alternative that is worth
trying, eg for spell checking try:
VisioDrawingControl.Focus()
SendKeys.SendWait("{F7}")

Best regards
