Remarks

The SetWindowRect method sets the size and position of the client area of the window with respect to the window that owns the Windows collection to which it belongs. For the Windows collection of an Application object, the "with respect to" window is the MDICLIENT window of the Visio main window. For the Windows collection of a Window object, the "with respect to" window is the client area of the drawing window.

SetWindowRect has no effect when the window is docked.

Example

The following example shows how to use the SetWindowRect method to set the size and position of a Window object. It opens the Pan & Zoom window and prints the window's coordinates, width, and height in the Immediate window. Then it uses SetWindowRect to change the height of the window, and prints out the new values.

Public Sub SetWindowRect_Example()

    Dim vsoApplication As Visio.Application
    Dim vsoPZWindow As Visio.Window
    Dim pinLeft As Long, pinTop As Long, pinWidth As Long, pinHeight As Long
    
    Set vsoApplication = Visio.Application
    
    'Display the Pan & Zoom window
    Set vsoPZWindow = vsoApplication.ActiveWindow.Windows.ItemFromID(visWinIDPanZoom)    
    vsoPZWindow.Visible = True
    
    'Get the existing window size and position
    vsoPZWindow.GetWindowRect pinLeft, pinTop, pinWidth, pinHeight
    Debug.Print pinLeft, pinTop, pinWidth, pinHeight
    
    'Change the window height and get the new values
    vsoPZWindow.SetWindowRect pinLeft, pinTop, pinWidth, pinHeight + 50
    vsoPZWindow.GetWindowRect pinLeft, pinTop, pinWidth, pinHeight
    Debug.Print pinLeft, pinTop, pinWidth, pinHeight
    
End Sub
