Extending visio uml solution

S

Is there a documented way to extend the visio uml solution by accessing the uml model, e.g. writing some (macro or C++ COM) code to generate new classes etc. like it does the reverse engineering option in vs.net

Regards

As far as I know, the "UML Solution" information is not documented anywhere.
If it is, then I haven't been paying attention in the MVP meetings. What I
do know, and what you are welcome to experiment with, is that there is a
hidden master in the document stencil of the UML template. This master is
called "UML". I'm pretty sure that it is some sort of COM object, that you
might be able to analyze and gain access to information there-in. I've never
tried it myself.

Of course, this is all surely "unsupported by microsoft", but it may get you
to where you need to go, nevertheless.

Happy Hunting,
