list of variables

[wizer186]

I'm not actually sure what the name of what I'm looking for is, but I'm
looking for the list of all the different options...

shape.CellsU("LineWeight").FormulaForceU = "4 pt"

for what is shown above as "LineWeight"

Line style, width, height, etc.

Is there some place that lists off all the different options that are built
into visio? Also the way that you measure or choose options would be good
too. Like if I wanted a dotted line how I would represent that after the =

Thanks!

All this information is actually in the help file. The problem is that
you will never be able to find it unless you know what you are looking
for. The help files used to be distibuted as PDFs that you could sit
down and read or search very easily. Visio 2003 had several ways into
the help system, if you didn't use the correct way in then you would
never find the stuff you wanted. Visio 2007 help has just gone a step
further down that road.
Knowing that you want to know about cell names, I go to the Visio help
and type in "cell names". Loads of hits about all sorts of things
(number one is about creating a COM diagram!) but nothing appropriate
to what is required.
So, I go into the Visual Basic editor and enter "cell names" into the
help field, again, loads of hits but nothing appropriate.
Type CellU into the search box and it'll tell you all about the cell
names and indices that can be used, no link to what they actually are
though.
Type in the cell name that you know, lineweight, and you get a list of
the indices that you can use.
I can't find a list of the names though. I still use the Visio 2000
PDFs for finding stuff.
Have a look in the Visio SDK.
