Document object (Visio)

  • Article

Represents a drawing file (.vsd or .vdx), stencil file (.vss or .vsx), or template file (.vst or .vtx) that is open in an instance of Microsoft Visio. A Document object is a member of the Documents collection of an Application object.

Remarks

The default property of a Document object is Name.

Use the Open method of a Documents collection to open an existing document.

Use the Add method of a Documents collection to create a new document.

Use the ActiveDocument property of an Application object to retrieve the active document in an instance.

Use the Pages, Masters, and Styles properties to retrieve Page, Master, and Style objects, respectively.

Use the CustomMenus or CustomToolbars properties to access the custom menus or toolbars.

Note

The Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) project of every Visio document also has a class module called ThisDocument. When you reference the ThisDocument module from code in a VBA project, it returns a reference to the project's Document object. For example, the code in a document's project can display the name of the project's document in a message box with this statement:

   MsgBox ThisDocument.Name

If your Visual Studio solution includes the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio reference, this object maps to the following types:

  • Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.IVDocument
