visio shape custom property mandatory

[Csili]

Hi There!

I would like to set a shape custom property to be mandatory when the shape
droped by the user onto the drawing. I've set the property to "Ask on drop",
but I would like it be mandatory do not let user leave empty.

Please help me!

It would be equivalent for you to put a formula,"DOCMD(1312)" in EventDrop
cell,
or "Application.DoCmd visCmdFormatCustPropEdit" in ShapeAdedEvent in VBA or
any othewr program.
And, if you would use VBA or any other program, you might be able to control
it, checking who had dropped your shape.

in Visio 2003 you will have to code - i would suggest a shapesheet formula
to turn the shape red and re-call the dialogue again.

in Visio 2007 you could visualize this with DataGraphics

but. there is not built-in way for "must-have " properties
