Characters.PersistsEvents Property

  • Article
Visio Automation Reference

Indicates whether an object is capable of containing persistent events in its EventList collection. Read-only.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Visio 4.1

Syntax

expression.PersistsEvents

expression   A variable that represents a Characters object.

Return Value
Integer

Remarks

Every object that has an EventList property also has a PersistsEvents property. To be persistable, an event's action code must be visActCodeRunAddon, but it must also be in the EventList collection of an object whose PersistsEvents property is True. The only objects that currently persist events are Document, Master, and Page objects.

Whether a persistable event actually does persist depends on the value of its Persistent property.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the PersistsEvents property to determine if an object is capable of containing persistent events. Executing the macro prints 1 (True), 1 (True), and 0 (False) in the Immediate window for the Document, Page, and Window objects, respectively.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  
Public Sub PersistsEvents_Example()
 
    Dim vsoDocument As Visio.Document 

Set vsoDocument = Documents.Add("") 
Debug.Print vsoDocument.PersistsEvents 
Debug.Print ActivePage.PersistsEvents 
Debug.Print ActiveWindow.PersistsEvents 



End Sub
