"Edit vertexes" mode for 1-D shapes

[Yevgeny Barkovsky]

Hello!

When I hold mouse pointer on the 1-D shape (e.g. polyline) in Visio, after
short time Visio moves to "edit vertexes" mode where I can change positions
for my 1-D shape.
But when I do it in the Drawing Control, nothing happens. How can I force
Drawing Control to simulate this Visio behavior? In other words, I need to
edit 1-D shape's vertexes using standard Visio behavior in the Drawing
Control.
By the way, I have Visio 2003 installed.

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.Application.DoCmd(1220) should do it, but
make sure you have a shape selected.

Hmmm. I don't know of a way to turn this on or off - in fact I never noticed
that it didn't work - but that doesn't mean that it isn't possible.

I can think of a hack: send a DoCmd to the Visio application and activate
the pencil or line tool after the mouse sits still for a specified time.

Yeah, but Visio behavior when Draw Line tool is active differs from behavior
in the "Edit vertexes" mode - mouse cursor, selecting other objects etc...
And this is not what I want.
