Forcing Visio to repaint the screen

[Andy]

I'm still intermittently getting a problem with Visio 2003 not
correctly redrawing the screen and sometimes drawing part of a shape in
the wrong position.

These have been discussed on here before and a partial solution was
using the Ctrl-Alt-G key combination to force Visio to redraw the
screen which corrected the problems.

Is there a method that can be called from VBA to force this repaint, if
so I will set a timer and force a periodic refresh until these problems
have been resolved.

Thanks, Andy

SendKeys "%^g", True , might be one of the ways.

Using sendkeys for ctrl-alt-g does not appear to cause anything to
happen. Is there a visio method i can call to force a refresh/repaint.

Sendkey acts to the active window. If active window is a module window of VBA
editor, sendkey is going to act the module wiindow. So, would you please run
macro with the menu of the dtrawing window.

This still doesn't work for me. If I print the active window caption,
then it is my diagram window. If I tun the macro from the diagram it
still does not cause a refresh.

I've uploaded a sample drawing that has a macro "RefleshVisio" here.
Would you please try to run the macro on my drawing?

Thanks for that example. I tried that and it works perfectly, not sure
what I was doing wrong before. Not an ideal soultion to have to
periodically refresh, but until the bugs are fixed at least it keeps my
diagram consistent.
