Example
The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the Document property of various objects to retrieve data about those objects, and does the following:
It adds a Document object to the Documents collection and sets several of the Document object's properties.
It gets the active window and active page, draws a rectangle on the page, and drops a master on the Document object to provide various objects to work on.
It uses the Document property to get the Document object associated with each of these other objects.
Public Sub Document_Example()
Dim vsoDocument As Visio.Document
Dim vsoTempDocument As Visio.Document
Dim vsoPage As Visio.Page
Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
Dim vsoWindow As Visio.Window
Dim vsoMaster As Visio.Master
'Add a document to the Documents collection.
Set vsoDocument = Documents.Add("")
'Set the title of the document.
vsoDocument.Title = "My Document"
'Get the active window and active page.
Set vsoWindow = ActiveWindow
Set vsoPage = ActivePage
'Draw a rectangle on the page.
Set vsoShape = vsoPage.DrawRectangle(2, 2, 5, 5)
'Add a master.
Set vsoMaster = vsoDocument.Masters.Add
'Get the Document object associated with various other objects.
'Get the Document object associated with the Window object.
Set vsoTempDocument = vsoWindow.Document
'Get the Title property of the Document object
'to verify that this is the same document we added earlier.
Debug.Print vsoTempDocument.Title
'Get the Document object associated with the Page object.
Set vsoTempDocument = vsoPage.Document
Debug.Print vsoTempDocument.Title
'Get the Document object associated with the Shape object.
Set vsoTempDocument = vsoShape.Document
Debug.Print vsoTempDocument.Title
'Get the Document object associated with the Master object.
Set vsoTempDocument = vsoMaster.Document
Debug.Print vsoTempDocument.Title
End Sub
