Windows app that automates a Visio UML Diagram

K

Scenario:
I am trying to create a windows application using Visual C++ that will take
data from a source (e.g. from an array) and then create the corresponding uml
sequence diagram in Visio based on some rules (e.g. my data struct).

I've used the following reference as a guide, but need more assistance:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=305199

Problem:
I am having difficulties learning how to program essential things like
positioning objects on the stencil correctly. Finding the exact names of
shapes (for example, there are two 'Message (call)' shapes; how do I
differentiate), and setting properties (e.g. Name, Stereotype, visibility,
etc...) of these shapes are some examples of programming problems I am
having.

I have the Visio 2003 SDK, but it is kind of difficult finding information,
methods, attributes, etc.. on how to do these things in Visual C++.

If there are any suggestions or guidance it would really help out a lot.

You might want to try EventStudio 2.5 to see if it meets your needs.

EventStudio uses a text based format for sequence diagram input. With
the text input, you can generate really large sequence diagrams.
