Output dialog Visio add-on that can display text when a shape is double-clicked, dropped on a page, or duplicated
There is no built-in ability for Visio to display a text dialog box when a shape is double-clicked or dropped on a page. Just install
this addon, then run the file "test.vsd".
As can be seen not only can text be displayed but you can also show any value(s) from the shape's shapesheet.
Nor is this dialog limited to the double-click event, it can also work on shape drop. Open the shape's shapesheet editor and put the formula in
the cell EventDrop instead of EventDblClick.
You can also perform multiple events, say you want to give some instructions before opening one of the standard Visio dialogs. If also want to open
the Fill dialog then you could use:
=RUNADDONWARGS("outputdialog", "Your instructions") + DoCmd(1066)
or
=DoCmd(1066) + RUNADDONWARGS("outputdialog", "Your comments")
if you want to display your text afterwards.
To insert a new line in the text use the text '\r' within your text string.

message: Visio 2010 Win7 32 bit
Hello,
When using the following:
=RUNADDONWARGS("outputdialog2","This shape's width")
Is there a way for the dialogue to appear as:
This
shape's
width
rather than wrap around text in the EventDblClick field?
How would one go about doing so?

Reply 1: Hi Derek,
sorry, there is no way to do that at the moment, any control characters (like CR/LF) get ignored.
I'll see if I can do something about it.
Reply 2: Hi Derek,
This can now be done in both dialogs, just add the text '\r' where you want the new line.
Displaying a web page within Visio
A question was asked recently on the SuperUser forum:
https://superuser.com/questions/1378502/can-i-add-a-webpage-browser-to-a-visio-diagram about how to add a view of a web page from a Visio diagram.
There is no built-in method of doing this but I thought I might be able to modify my Output Dialog for Visio, and I have managed to get something working.
Just install this addon, then run the file "test web page output.vsd" which the installer adds tou your desktop so it is easy to find.
Double-click the shape and a web browser window will open at my website (www.paulherber.co.uk). The web browser is not as complete as others but displays my website just
as any other browser would. The only exception that I know of so far is that it doesn't run javascript so it does throw up an error but just continue and the page shows correctly.
The browser window may be moved and resized as required.
