doubleclick Visio Shape to ping real device
I have created an extensive Network diagram utilizing Visio 2007, linked to
SQL Server. SQL Server contains all the applicable data for each network device. It is then linked to Visio corresponding to each device shape, ie. routers and switches. This is all saved as html. This is to help the Network Team, and helpdesk so they can visualy see each site network diagram. I would like for the user to be able to doubleclick a shape (router, switch) and have it ping the actual device. Is this possible? I imagine it would be a macro, but i am not a programmer. Any help would be great! Thanks! |

Hi VanlanJL,
Al Edlund (another Visio MVP) has answered similar questions before. I've copied an old post from 2007 here for you: -- Al Edlund posted on Thursday, April 26, 2007 4:24 PM Visio doesn't support pinging directly, you have to write code to make it happen. You can use hyperlink to execute a telnet command to test connectivity. You can also either write a simple macro to execute a MSTSC connection to reach out to wintel devices. Finally Bill Morein wrote a web service to execute MSTSC also http://blogs.msdn.com/wmorein/archiv...hyperlink.aspx al--Hope this helps, Chris Roth Visio MVP For in-depth Visio articles, Visio tutorials and free Visio shapes, stencils and templates, check out my web site: Visio Guy http://www.visguy.com For more Visio discussion, visit our forum (complete with pictures and downloads!): Visio Guy Forum http://www.visguy.com/vgforum "VanlanJL" wrote in message ...

Yes I have seen Al's responses, and they have not been helpful.
Where can i find a sample code to excute a ping?

I'm sorry for that.
I started over here http://vbnet.mvps.org/ converted the network materials to VBA, wrapped it in the Visio structure that could be called from a Visio event, saved it to a stencil and then posted it (with Randy's permission).
