This is the personal blog of David J Parker, Microsoft MVP for Visio, based in the UK.
It contains tips and tricks and sample code for intermediate to advanced Visio users and developers (and a few occasional ramblings about other stuff too).
I am the author of two books about Visio …
Book 1
Visualizing Information with Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007

Book 2

Hi David,
Have you ever created a customised form for entering shape data? For example have Field A then next to it having a checkbox for the validation of the data.
I find the shape data window very non-user friendly when there is a large amount of shape data and the dialog box that it uses is good but it’s main limitation is that it restricts the number of fields.
BTW I’m using Visio 2007

Yes, I have done it with VBA, WinForms and WPF (my favourite) in the past. When talking about validation, then you need to have somewhere to store the constraints … lately I have used an XML file, but if you have a database, then it could come from there.

Hello David ….
I am Nishant and I am training to become a Business Analyst in Noida , India…
I have been trying to learn about MS-Visio 2010 in my training …Although there are online trainings available for MS-Visio but I want a classroom training in it as I believe a face to face training will help me master it
Can you suggest me what can I do ???

Hi David,
The original WBS Modeler i’ve read was released with source code. As you were the original author,is it possible to get a copy of your last release? I realise it would be a well outdated version? The current WBS Modeler does not do some things well (formatting, controls on what levels to output) and I was hoping to learn from the old code and go from there.
cheers
James
