Programmatically Simulate the Connector Tool Functionality with Visio 2003 Active X

[Denis Zavadil]

I've ported a Visio 2002 VBA application to VB.NET 2003 utilizing the new
Active X control. I prefer not to incorporate the native Visio Toolbars in
the solution. I have a need to use the Dynamic Connector functionality as
provided by the Native Visio Toolbar Connector Tool. Is there a property
exposed through the Active X component which allows this functionality to be
turned on and off programmatically?

You can use IOleCommandTarget to do this. There is some sample code and a
description of how to use IOleCommandTarget with the control on MSDN at:

Thanks,

Thanks Mai Lan, that works great!

I've a problem in that the SelectionDeleteCanceled event does not fire when
I cancel a deletion by setting True in the
QueryCancelSelectionDelete event within the Active X control. This does
work properly in VBA for 2003.

Is this a known bug? If so, is there a recommened fix or work around?

Denis, can I confirm what version of VS you are using? It is a known issue
that QueryCancel events don't work with Visual Studio 7.0 (VS.NET) but this
problem is fixed in Visual Studio 7.1 (VS.NET 2003). The problem with VS 7.0
is that you can't cancel an event and so a cancelled event never fires.

Which version are you using?

Thanks,
Mai-lan

Hi, Denis: Sorry for the late response. We've tried reproing this several
times on our end and have not been able to recreate your bug. If you can
post your code, we can work with your code to see the problem.
