Version added

Remarks

Microsoft Office Visio can have more than one window open at a time; however, only one window is active. Activating a window can change the objects returned by the ActiveWindow, ActivePage, and ActiveDocument properties.

Example

The following macro creates two windows, and then shows how to activate one of the windows.

Public Sub Activate_Example()

    Dim vsoDocument As Visio.Document 
    Dim vsoWindow As Visio.Window 
     
    'Create two new windows by adding documents.
    Set vsoDocument = Documents.Add("") 
    Set vsoWindow = ActiveWindow 
    Set vsoDocument = Documents.Add("") 
    
    'Use the Activate method to make the first
    'window created the active window.
    vsoWindow.Activate

End Sub
