Remarks

Setting the DefaultSaveFormat property is equivalent to setting the Save Visio files as option on the Save tab in the Options dialog box (Tools menu).

Note  The DefaultSaveFormat property setting has no effect on the file type in which Visio files are saved by the Save or SaveAs methods of the Document object. To control the file type in which a document is saved programatically, use the Version property of the Document object.

The following VisDefaultSaveFormats constants, which are declared in the Visio type libary, show the possible values for the DefaultSaveFormat property.

Constant	Value	Description
visDefaultSaveCurrentBinary	0	Binary format for current version of Visio.
visDefaultSaveCurrentXML	2	XML format for current version of Visio.
visDefaultSavePreviousBinary	1	Binary format for previous version of Visio.
