deleting objects based on the deletion of other objects

[Michi D.]

Hi all,

my problem is as follows:

In case the user deletes an object (a shape or a page) he
should be asked whether he is really sure to do that or
whether he wants to cancel the action - so far so good.
This can be done by 'Document_QueryCancelPageDelete' and
'Document_QueryCancelSelectionDelete'.

But in case the deletion of the object is ok I want Visio
to automatically delete some other objects. It seems that
it is not possible to delete objects from above mentioned
functions!

Does anybody have an idea how I can manage this?

Best regards,
Michi

Hi Michi

use the Event:
Document_BeforeSelectionDelete(ByVal voSel As Visio.Selection)

There you can add some code to select/handle other objects bevore
your selection is deleted...

Try it!
