Creating Orgchart using VBA

[helgenymoen]

Hi

Is it possible to create an org chart (for a page object) programatically
using VBA?
If so, please add some example code.

given the fact that an org chart is rarely anything more than a fancy tree
diagram, you might consider downloading the v2003 sdk which has an example
of how to create one....

Hi, there: The Organization Chart Wizard has a command-line interface that
you can use to create an org chart. We don't have a VBA sample specifically
but we do have a VB sample in the Visio SDK Code Librarian samples called
"Organization Charts from Exchange."

If you don't already have the Visio SDK, here's the links:

Visio 2002 SDK:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvisio02/html/visintsdk.asp
Visio 2003 SDK:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...html/Visio2003SDK_ReleaseNotes_HV01083290.asp

Thanks, but I don't think this wizard component will work in my case.
What I need is to create the Position- and Dynamic connector shapes
programatically to
maintain control over my chart (actually it is a binary tree).

Any suggestions besides the Wizard?

Yes, Al's right with his previous post. There's a sample in the SDK that
shows how to create and connect connector shapes in a flowchart that you can
use as a model. This uses the Visio Object Model, instead of the Org Chart
solution, which means you have more tools (docs and samples) in the SDK at
your disposal.

Hi,

How fortunate that this thread appeared just as I was about to ask many of
the same questions! My problem is that most users of any solution I create
will not have Visio, so an Org Chart solution is pretty much all I've got.
However, I can't seem to find any information on automating org charts
anywhere online. Can anyone suggest a source of more information on it?

Thanks...
