Message: [QUOTE="ben h, post: 5059368"] I am new to developing in Visio 2003, current experience is Excel VBA and ASP/VB. I'm happy to learn some .NET (be it C# or VB) to achieve the best result. Issue is this: creating some wizards to collect some info from the end-user, which is then to be stored in the Custom Properties of the Background Page's PageSheet. This info is used in various shapes and text fields in the final Visio document. I also plan to eventually store all this info into a database, so using the Custom properties seems to be the best way. However: Custom properties are specific to a shape, and I want them available to the end-user at all times when working on the document. So i hoped there was a good way to display the Custom Properties for a PageSheet in a window somewhere so the end-user could modify at any time without having to select the PageSheet. Is there anyone who has done this who can suggest a means for me to do it? I looked at the SDK code library, and it has an anchor bar thingy. I thought maybe I could store the Custom Properties of the PageSheet into a form, and then display the form in an anchor bar. What do ya reckon??? Any suggestions would be great! Ben [/QUOTE]
