Editing Text With Double Click
Hi All
I've created a load of shapes and set the double cleck event to edit text, however, if I drag a shap into a drawing and double click the text nothing happens. I have to click on the text icon in order to edit it. Does anyone know how I can get the double click function working? Cheers, Danny |

Editing Text With Double Click
you're going to probably do it with some form of vba macro to modify the
evtdblclick cell (sounds like you're already doing that manually). You might consider using the vba macro recorder to capture how it is done. al "Danny" wrote in message ...

Editing Text With Double Click
I seem to be missing something here. The default dbl click behavior for a
Visio shape is text edit. If you draw a rectangle, dbl click -- text edit. If you drag a shape from a stencil, dbl click -- text edit. There may be some specialized shapes that don't show this behavior, but, I think it is the norm. Are we talking about text within a shape, i.e., shape text?

I thought of that as well. It turns out that some third-party shapes may not
be consistent. al "WapperDude" wrote in message ... I seem to be missing something here. The default dbl click behavior for a Visio shape is text edit.

Thanks for the reply... I've started using the shape data entry system to
control all data associated witht he shape. This has got me around the double click issue. Thanks for reply.

Editing Text With Double Click
Hi
If I draw a text box, enter text, then create a master shape, drag it to a drawing then I can modify the text using a single click. If I create a rectangle or any combination of shapes, then add text, create the master shape, drag to the drawing then I have to go through the double click issue. I have managedf to use the shape data input method to control the data associated with each shape. SO i have found a work around. Thanks for getting back to me.

If you open your shape to look at the shapesheet, in the 'Events' section,
there is a cell "EventDblClick". If you change that cell to "OPENTEXTWIN()", you should get what you want.. al "Danny" wrote in message ...
