Question

I am using C# and Visio 2007 SDK.
Is there a way to show the shape data window in a particular position with a given size?

Thanks a lot.

If you can get the Visio.Window object that represents the shape data window, then you should be able to use its WindowState, or the MergeClass, MergeID and MergePosition properties, or the SetWindowRect method to control its size, position and state.

See the property and method help for the Visio.Window class here:

And this link lists the various values for the WindowState property:

Here’s how to get the pan/zoom window from the active window:

Application.ActiveWindow.Windows.ItemFromID(visWinIDPanZoom)

Hopefully, there is (and you can find) a constant that allows you to get direct access to the shape data window as well. Other visWinID* values are listed here:
