How to Use Visio 2003 Developer's Survival Pack to Build Diagrammatic Software Applications
Visio 2003 Developer's Survival Pack is a book and a set of tools for developers who want to use Microsoft Visio as a platform for creating diagrammatic software applications for various domains, such as business, IT, science and engineering. The book covers the structure and behavior of Visio's document and user-interface object models, including the ShapeSheet, which is a powerful spreadsheet-like feature that controls the appearance and behavior of shapes. The book also provides guidance on how to add functionality to Visio using different architectures, such as add-ins, smart tags, COM servers and .NET assemblies. The book comes with a CD-ROM that contains a collection of tools that help developers browse, inspect and manipulate Visio objects and shapes. Some of the tools included are:
ShapeStudio: A graphical tool that lets you create and edit shapes using ShapeSheet formulas.
ShapeSpy: A tool that displays the properties and methods of any Visio object or shape in a tree view.
ShapeScript: A tool that lets you write and execute scripts that manipulate Visio objects and shapes using VBScript or JScript.
ShapeReporter: A tool that generates HTML reports on the properties and methods of Visio objects and shapes.
ShapeExplorer: A tool that lets you browse and search Visio documents, masters, styles and layers.
The book and the tools are compatible with Visio 2003 Standard, Professional and Enterprise editions. They can also be used with Visio 2002 with some limitations. The book is written by Graham Wideman, a Visio expert and consultant who has been developing Visio solutions since 1996. The book is available from Trafford Publishing for US $49.95. You can order it online from https://www.trafford.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/175887-visio-2003-developers-survival-pack or from other online vendors.
If you are looking for a comprehensive guide and a set of tools to help you develop diagrammatic software applications using Visio 2003, you should check out Visio 2003 Developer's Survival Pack. It will save you time and effort and help you unleash the full potential of Visio as a development platform.
In this article, we will show you how to use some of the tools from Visio 2003 Developer's Survival Pack to create a simple diagrammatic application that displays the network topology of a company. The application will use Visio shapes to represent network devices and connectors to represent network links. The application will also use smart tags to provide context-sensitive actions for the shapes and connectors. The application will be implemented as a Visio add-in using Visual Basic 6.0.
The first step is to create a new Visio document based on the Basic Network Diagram template. This template provides a set of predefined shapes and connectors for network diagrams. You can drag and drop the shapes and connectors from the stencil window to the drawing page to create your network diagram. You can also use the ShapeStudio tool from Visio 2003 Developer's Survival Pack to create your own custom shapes and connectors using ShapeSheet formulas.
The next step is to add smart tags to the shapes and connectors. Smart tags are small icons that appear when you hover over a shape or connector. They provide quick access to common tasks or commands related to the shape or connector. For example, you can use smart tags to change the shape properties, connect to a data source, or run a macro. You can use the ShapeScript tool from Visio 2003 Developer's Survival Pack to write and execute scripts that add smart tags to Visio objects and shapes using VBScript or JScript.
The final step is to create a Visio add-in that will load and run when you open the Visio document. A Visio add-in is a COM component that extends the functionality of Visio. You can use Visual Basic 6.0 or any other COM-compatible language to create a Visio add-in. You can use the ShapeSpy tool from Visio 2003 Developer's Survival Pack to inspect and manipulate the properties and methods of any Visio object or shape in a tree view. You can also use the ShapeReporter tool from Visio 2003 Developer's Survival Pack to generate HTML reports on the properties and methods of Visio objects and shapes.
By using Visio 2003 Developer's Survival Pack, you can create diagrammatic software applications using Visio 2003 with ease and efficiency. You can also learn more about Visio's object model, ShapeSheet, and programming techniques from the book that accompanies the tools.
