Shape Comparison Fails Through a VBA Event (828822)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2003
- Microsoft Office Visio Standard 2003
SYMPTOMSIf you disconnect and then reconnect the same dynamic
connector to the same Microsoft Office Visio 2003 shape, a Microsoft Visual
Basic for Applications (VBA) event handler that tracks these changes will
indicate that different shapes were connected to instead of the same
shape.CAUSEThis problem occurs when you switch a Stencil pane to edit
mode after you start the event handler and create the shapes and connectors.
When you put a Stencil pane in edit mode, COM resets the properties for all
objects on the drawing and resets the values any object variables to NULL. So
when the VBA macro or event handler detects the change, the value for the shape
has not been stored and comparison tests will indicate a different shape was
connected to.
After this event occurs, subsequent disconnections and
reconnections of the Dynamic connector from the shape will behave as expected,
because the value is now stored in your comparison variable.STATUSMicrosoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
in the "Applies to" section of this article.
