Address Element [Visio 2003 SDK Documentation]

Article
05/01/2007

Specifies a URL address, DOS file name, or UNC path to jump to.

You can specify Address as a relative path based on the hyperlink base path defined for the document. If the document has no base path, Visio 2003 navigates based on the document path. If the document hasn't been saved, the hyperlink is undefined.

Syntax

<Address>
    [Unit]
    [F]
    [Err]
    [V]>
</Address>

Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is STR. For details about STR, see Units of measure.

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.

Optional string. Represents the null string condition for a string cell value. In some cases it is helpful to distinguish between an empty string cell null and a null string cell value. This attribute is used to distinguish between these forms of an empty value.
