Thanks for sharing, I hadn’t noticed this method before. By using one parent procedure that can call any other child procedure, this could make a lot of VBA solutions even more powerful & flexible (while making for less code at the same time).

Hi all,

I am very new to visio VBA and i am lookiking for some help on labels and text.

Basically, I have imported data from excel using tolls->Add-Ons->building plan->import data to produce lots of boxes.

then i imported label for those shapes (to insert the text data from the excel in the boxes) using tools->Add-ons->building plan->Label shapes.

Now i am trying to automate something in visio and i need to get text from the box.

however when i use the text property

Objret = Object.Text

It doesnt see any text in the shapes as it is Labels and not text.

Could anyone please tell me how to get the text in the labels in the box please?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi T,

Are you trying to call a VBA macro in Visio from Excel?

I think that requires accessing the VBA project.

Hi,

First Thank you for this post
I am trying to build a communication between Excel and Visio. Do you think that we can call a Visio function from Excel (by CallByName .. or other means)
I have tried it without success …

Thanks
