Version added

2003

Remarks

Setting the SnapStrengthGuidesX property is equivalent to setting the Guides option under Snap strength on the Advanced tab in the Snap & Glue dialog box (Tools menu). Setting snap strength in the UI sets both x and y values to the same value.

The minimum allowable value for the SnapStrengthGuidesX property is 0 (zero), and the maximum is 999. Attempting to set a value outside that range returns an error. The default value is 10.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the SnapStrengthGuidesX property to print the current snap strength guides x-axis setting in the Immediate window. It also shows how to get an ApplicationSettings object from the Visio Application object.

Public Sub SnapStrengthGuidesX_Example()

    Dim vsoApplicationSettings As Visio.ApplicationSettings
    Dim lngSnapStrength As Long

    Set vsoApplicationSettings = Visio.Application.Settings
    lngSnapStrength = vsoApplicationSettings.SnapStrengthGuidesX

    Debug.Print lngSnapStrength

End Sub
