Application.ActiveWindow Property

  • Article
Visio Automation Reference

Returns the active Window object. Read-only.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Visio 2.0

Syntax

expression.ActiveWindow

expression   A variable that represents an Application object.

Return Value
Window

Remarks

The active window can be one of the following window types: Drawing, Stencil, ShapeSheet, Edit Icon, or a Drawing or Stencil window created by an add-on. The application's active window can only be an MDI frame window—it cannot be one of the floating, docked, or anchored windows. For a complete list of window types, see the Type property.

If a window in an instance of Microsoft Office Visio is not active, the ActiveWindow property returns Nothing.

Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to get the active window without qualification from the Microsoft Office Visio global object, which is automatically available to VBA code that is part of the VBA project of a Visio document.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  
Public Sub ActiveWindow_Example()
 
    Dim vsoWindow As Visio.Window 

'Get the active window.
Set vsoWindow = ActiveWindow 

'To verify that we got the active window, print its caption. 
Debug.Print vsoWindow.Caption 



End Sub
