OPENFILE Function
Opens a Microsoft Visio document, if it's not already open, and activates the document window.
Syntax
OPENFILE( "filename")
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename |
Required |
String |
The name of the file, including file path, you want to open. |
Remarks
Multiple OPENFILE function calls are queued and executed in order of evaluation. If the current Visio document is activated for visual (in-place) editing, a new Visio instance is launched with the requested file name.
This function always returns FALSE.
In earlier versions of the Visio application, this function appears as _OPENFILE. Visio versions 4.0 and later accept either style.
Example
OPENFILE("C:/MyFile.vsdx")
Opens the specified file "MyFile.vsdx" in a new window, or activates the window if the file is already open.
