Iterating through a visio diagram assuming there are no connectors

[pranav.lal]

Hi all,

I need to iterate through a visio diagram. The shapes in the diagram
are visually connected to one another but no connector shapes have
been used. Is this possible? I have sceen some code to determine the
proximity of shapes on a visio page but I have been unable to
understand how to apply it to a generic diagram.

Connect object might be usefull to trace diagram connected with connector or
1Dshape, though it is a bit hard to study.Visio2003 SDK librarian contains
examples.

Check out the SpatialRelation and SpatialNeighbors functions. These let you
determine which shapes are touching /overlapping / contained / contained-in.

I've got some developer links on my site, including pointers to the Visio
SDK that might help you out. John Marshall's web-site might even have a code
sample about this too:

Hi Chris,

I know about the SpatialRelation property but did not know about the
SpatialNeighbors function.

This may be worth exploring.

PL] I have the Visio sdk. Which example are you refering to? Is it the
flowchart example in visual basic .net?
