Document.Stat Property

  • Article
Visio Automation Reference

Returns status information for an object. Read-only.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Visio 3.0

Syntax

expression.Stat

expression   A variable that represents a Document object.

Return Value
Integer

Remarks

If an object is a reference to an entity in a document, and if that document closes, the Stat property returns a value in which the visStatClosed bit is set.

If an object is a reference to an entity that has been deleted, the Stat property returns a value in which the visStatDeleted bit is set.

A Component Object Model (COM) object, such as a Microsoft Office Visio Document object, lives as long as it is held (pointed to) by a client, even if the object is logically in a deleted or closed state.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the Stat property to check the status of a Document object. Executing the macro prints 0 (visStatNormal) and then 8 (visStatClosed) in the Immediate window.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  
Public Sub Stat_Example()
 
    Dim vsoDocument As Visio.Document 
    Set vsoDocument = Documents.Add("") 
    Debug.Print vsoDocument.Stat 
    vsoDocument.Close 
    Debug.Print vsoDocument.Stat 

End Sub
