Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the Creator property to document the author of a drawing. It adds a Document object to the Documents collection and sets the Document object's Creator property as well as other document properties.

Before running this macro, substitute your own values for the items in italic in the following code. To verify that these properties have been set, open the Properties dialog box (File menu).

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

Set vsoDocument = Documents.Add("") 

'Set the properties of the document. 
vsoDocument.Title = "<em>document title</em>" 
vsoDocument.Creator = "<em>author name</em>" 
vsoDocument.Description = "<em>document description</em>" 
vsoDocument.Keywords = "<em>keyword1, keyword2, keyword3</em>" 
vsoDocument.Subject = "<em>document subject</em>" 
vsoDocument.Manager = "<em>manager name</em>" 
vsoDocument.Category = "<em>document category</em>" 



End Sub
