Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the EventList property to add an Event object to the EventList collection of a Document object. When the Event object is triggered by adding a shape to the document, the VSL add-on you specify runs.

Before running this macro, replace references to fullpath\filename and filename with a valid path and name for a Microsoft Office Visio VSL or executable (EXE) add-on.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  
Public Sub EventList_Example()
 
    Dim vsoEventList As Visio.EventList 
    Dim vsoEvent As Visio.Event 
    Dim vsoAddons As Visio.Addons 
    Dim vsoAddon As Visio.Addon 

'Prevent overflow error. 
Const visEvtAdd% = &H8000 

'Add the specified add-on to the Addons collection.
Set vsoAddons = Visio.Addons 
Set vsoAddon = vsoAddons.Add ("<em>fullpath\filename</em>")

'Add a ShapeAdded event to the EventList collection
'of the document. The event will start the specifed add-on, which
'should take no arguments.
Set vsoEventList = ThisDocument.EventList 
Set vsoEvent = vsoEventList.Add(visEvtAdd + visEvtShape, visActCodeRunAddon, _ 
    "<em>filename</em>", "") 



End Sub
