how to add line item toa shapes right click, view, menu

[John W Zerkel]

When I right click on a shape in visio, in the popup menu, one of the line
items is 'view'. When it is selected, a second level menu pops up. How can
i add a line item to that second level menu? It also would be helpful to
have a pointer or two about having that new item execute a specfic VBA
routine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello John,

You can add 'Actions' to your shapes manually or programatically and use the
CALLTHIS() ShapeSheet function to call a procedure in VBA.

Check out this link on Actions:

and this one on the CALLTHIS function:
