Visio document properties

[Karen]

Hello All,

I am working on a project to get all metadata from office files. In word,
excel, ppt, they have the "builtinDocumentProperties" that giaves all the
document properties. I tried to find some object similar to it in Visio, but
I didn't get it. I also tried the DSoFile to get the properties, while it is
not accurate. It couldn't get the date Created for some .vsd files.
I am wondering how can I get document properties from visio, especially the
date created, modified and last accessed?

Thanks

Karen

documents can keep their information in standard properties and custom
fields (custom properties, user fields). To view the data go to the menu bar
and click on drawing explorer. When the window opens right click the
topmost selection (the document name. The standard properties and shapesheet
can then be select to view what is available. To write code you might start

for a list of properties and methods available.
