Visio 2002 Gantt Charts - set task bar height to 0?

[Alan Dods]

Hello

Is there a simple way to set the height task bars to 0 in Visio 2002
Gantt charts?

I can set the row height to 0, but the bar stays the same height.

I have unprotected height and I've tried changing User.BarHeight to 0
in the Shapesheet. That seems to work for one bar. BarHeight is
usually defined in terms of a variable called Prop.NormalHeight.
Where is NormalHeight defined?

I'm trying to find a way to hide subordinate tasks and show summary
only. If there's another way to do this, please let me know.

Thanks
Alan

Prop.NormalHeight is in the Page's shape sheet, if that helps you.

The task bars are group shapes, so if you wanted to hide them, you'd need to
go down into all the subshapes and turn on the NoShow flag on the geometry
sections.
