Selfmade Hyperlinks
Hi,
I'm currently developing a template for a graphical notation similar to BPMN or UML2 activity diagramms. There are, amongst others activities and processes. Processes contain activities which can also be defined through processes. What I want to achieve that the user gets to the process that defines an activity when he/she clicks on a link symbol which is part of the activity. I didn't use hyperlinks as they don't work with a single click and do not have a "back"-functionality (unless the diagramm is exported to HTML) Up to now my solution works with a smart tag and an action, which call the same VBA routine. This routine changes the active page to that containing the defining process and centers the window on the process shape. Each page has an action with the "back" functionality so that the user can return to where he/she clicked on the link via "Go Back" in the context menu. What still bothers me is the fact that smart tags as well as entries of the context menu do not allow the user to navigate with a single click. I feel there should be a way to achieve this but I've no idea how. Of course one could implement a handler for the mouse button events which checks if the mouse is position over the link symbol of an activity but I guess and hope there is a simpler solution. Any ideas on that? Looking forward to seeing your solutions! Regards, Dirk |

There shold be just small regions within shapes that respond to single clicks. Those small regions can be group member shapes. Moreover their behaviour may change according to the mode visio is in. In developer mode the hyperlink feature may be turned off. Regards, Dirk |
