Running macros from a stencil

[LeeAnn]

Hi all.

I am trying to run a DocumentOpened macro and ShapeAdded macro from a
stencil. The macros worked OK in a drawing .vsd macro. I am thinking that
the macros are not firing in response to the document open and shape added
events. I have read the addadvise in the "help" but I am confused. I would
prefer not to put the code in the drawing document but in a stencil. Any
ideas?

Thanks for the help.

I think your macro is on ThisDocument module.
The Document in the "Document_DocumentOpened" is your stencil.
Then, DocumentOpened fires when your stencil opens,
Document_MasterAdded fires when a maser added to your stencil.

For your drawing, make Document object to refer your drawing.
For example,
Private WithEvents myDoc As Visio.Document
and put "Set myDoc = ActiveDocument"
in the "Document_DocumentOpened" event,
and make new "myDoc_DocumentOpened" event.

Thanks for the information. You are correct, the "Document_DocumentOpened"
and "Document_ShapeAdded" are in the ThisDocument of the stencil. I have no
vbscripts in the drawing.

Do I put the "Private WithEvents myDoc As Visio.Document" in the
ThisDocument of the stencil or the ThisDocument of the drawing?

Thanks for the help.

Yes, ThisDocument of the stencil.
And please note that
the drawing is always opened when the stencol opened.
And then, myDoc_DocumentOpened event cannot recieve the event opened.
But myDoc_DocumentSaved can get events.
If you wish to get events that aother drawing is opened, add myApp_Docyment
event and adding "Set myApp=Application" in stencil opened event.
