InvisibleApp.EventsEnabled Property

  • Article
Visio Automation Reference

Determines whether a Microsoft Office Visio instance fires events. Read/write.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Visio 4.5

Syntax

expression.EventsEnabled

expression   A variable that represents an InvisibleApp object.

Return Value
Integer

Remarks

If the EventsEnabled property is False, Visio does not fire events, run add-ons, or execute strings that contain arbitrary Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code when evaluating RUNADDON operands in cell formulas.

By default, the EventsEnabled property is True when an instance of Visio starts.

You may want to disable event firing if you have written code to handle events such as DocumentOpened or DocumentCreated that does not work properly, or to prevent the incorporation of a virus into a document. Events will not fire until the EventsEnabled property is set to True.

Example

These VBA macros show how to use the EventsEnabled property to suspend and resume event processing.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  
Public Sub SuspendEventProcessing_Example() 

'Suspend event processing.
Application.EventsEnabled = False
End Sub  



Public Sub EventsEnabled_Example()


'Resume event processing.
Application.EventsEnabled = True



End Sub
