Real time data in Visio.

[Anil]

I understand that I cannot view real time data from a visioviewer.
instead of using VisioViewer I will load Visio in my PC and using RUN
command i can execute my application
and able to see the real time data update on the screen. But if the same
environment i give to a customer, there may be every chance of him middling
with my code or changing the Shapes on my screen. i want to restrict this
activity. Is there any possibility that i can disable the Menu and by using
function key F5 or RUN command he can execute the apllication.

Please suggest.

Anil,

Some tips to get you headed in the right direction:

- You can password protect your document's VBA code.
- Users can access your public procedures via Tools > Macros
- You can set a shape to run a VBA macro on double-click. Select a shape and
choose Format > Behavior > Double-click tab.
- You can add custom menus to the document for accessing your VBA code
routines. See Visio UI Object model help or Office Command Bars. There are
two avenues for customizing the menus.
- You can put a right-click menu on the page via the Page's ShapeSheet. Add
an Actions section and set an action with a formula like this:
RunAddOn("Thisdocument.Simulation") or something similar.
