Shape.StyleKeepFmt Property
| Visio Automation Reference |
Applies a style to an object while preserving local formatting. Read/write.
Version Information
Version Added: Visio 2.0
Syntax
expression.StyleKeepFmt
expression A variable that represents a Shape object.
Return Value
String
Remarks
Setting the StyleKeepFmt property is equivalent to selecting the Preserve local formatting check box in the Style dialog box (click Style on the Format menu). Setting a style to a nonexistent style generates an error.
Beginning with Microsoft Visio 2002, setting StyleKeepFmt to an empty string ("") will cause the master's style to be reapplied to the shape. (Earlier versions generate a "no such style" exception.) If the shape has no master, its style remains unchanged. Setting StyleKeepFmt to an empty string is the equivalent of selecting Use master's format in the Text style, Line style, or Fill style list in the Style dialog box (on the Format menu, click Style).
