The website doesn't mention Visio. Is this 'thing' for Visio 2003? Or
will I get everything I need for doing Visio Automation when I get by
Visio 2003 Pro CD?

Thanks,
Scott Metzger

The Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Office System 2003 works with Word and
Excel.

Managed code support for Visio is available via the Primary Interop
Assemblies installed with Visio 2003. Note that you must have the .Net
Framework 1.1 installed or Visual Studio .Net 2003 on the client machine.

See the following MSDN articles:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../odc_VSProgrammingwithVisioActiveXControl.asp

Note that you can host the Visio 2003 ActiveX control in Word 2003 and Excel
2003. This will allow you to control the embedded Visio drawing in Word &
Excel. This scenario will be useful in some scenarios. (Like embedding and
interacting with a Visio drawing in these applications.

What about real C++ ?

For Visio 2002 we could download the SDK which included a C++ library
for talking to Visio via Automation.

Will this library be available on the install CD? Will the library be
usable with the ActiveX control?

Thanks,
Scott who's waiting impatiently for his Visio 2003 install CD.
