textchanged question

[mike]

I'm trying to figure out how to write a routine which will detect when a "<"
is typed into a shape's text, so that I can bring up a listbox with possible
entries. I know there is a textchanged event, but I'm not sure if that's
really what I want, or how to wire it up.

Thanks in advance for any help leading me down the correct path...

I suppose that the thing you mean is some sort of auto-completion.
"TextChanged" event is fired after "in-place text editing session"
completes.
And there is no "TextChanging" event.

So AFAIK, you wan't be able to implement autocompletion with Visio
automation API.

Kind regards, Nikolay
