I am currently working on a very large, nearly-complete organizational
chart. I am at a stage where I am trying to write a few macros to make
reading and referring to the chart a little easier, and I'm stuck at a
one concept in particular.
My goal is to create a macro that can do the the following task: Upon
selecting a certain shape, it will hide every connector, except those
that connect directly to the selected shape. This will and make it
much easier to read.
I have created this exact macro before, for a smaller project, but
that was when all lines connecting to a certain shape were stored in a
distinctive layer... this macro was very simple to create, and I have
no problems doing just that, the only drawback is that every connector
(over 250 in total) are all stored in a single layer and it would be
next to impossible to sort them out at this point.
-----
My question is: Is there a built-in Visio tool that can select all
connectors that connect to a given shape? If not, can anyone suggest
an alternate method in helping me complete this macro?
I have looked online and throughout my visio references (Microsoft
2003 Developer's Survival Pack, Developing Visio Solutions for
Microsoft 2000) and haven't come across anything that corresponds to
the problem I am having.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Much thanks in advance,
