Editorial Reviews:

In this case study, author Tony Loton demonstrates how to write VBA macros and full--blown C#/.NET applications for extracting information from design diagrams in Microsoft Visio. If you're a little frustrated by the limited functionality of Visio compared with some other design tools, there's still hope. Loton illustrates how to extend Visio's functionality yourself and build a design tool that's customized to your needs. The article's main focus is on UML diagrams, but it's not limited to that notation. If you're working with other diagram types (like website diagrams or enterprise application diagrams), there's a lot in this article for you as well.


Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Not much beyond basic Visio automation

I bought this "book", which is about 2/3 diagrams, source code, and white space, to learn how to get details from a class diagram but it doesn't cover much beyond cycling through the shapes on a page. The author only states that details that do not appear on the screen cannot be accessed (such as the Documentation field of a class attribute).

The author does very little to describe a "better design tool". Save your money and find free info on Visio Automation and Shapes and you'll probably get more useful info than this article provides. This is definitely way below the normal Wrox standards!
