Version added

2003

Remarks

Setting the SnapStrengthRulerX property is equivalent to setting the Rulers option under Snap strength on the Advanced tab in the Snap & Glue dialog box (Tools menu). Setting snap strength in the UI sets both x and y values to the same value.

The minimum allowable value for the SnapStrengthRulerX property is 0 (zero), and the maximum is 999. Attempting to set a value outside that range returns an error. The default value is 4.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the SnapStrengthRulerX property to print the current snap strength ruler x-axis setting in the Immediate window. It also shows how to get an ApplicationSettings object from the Visio Application object.

Public Sub SnapStrengthRulerX_Example()

    Dim vsoApplicationSettings As Visio.ApplicationSettings
    Dim lngSnapStrength As Long

    Set vsoApplicationSettings = Visio.Application.Settings
    lngSnapStrength = vsoApplicationSettings.SnapStrengthRulerX

    Debug.Print lngSnapStrength

End Sub
