Executes an add-on or a macro in a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) project.
If the project of the document that contains the RUNADDON function call (or another project if it is referenced) does not have a macro (a procedure with no arguments) named string, Microsoft Visio runs the add-on named string. If no add-on named string can be found, Visio does nothing and reports no error. (You can use the TraceFlags property to monitor the procedures and add-ons that Visio attempts to run.)
When you call a procedure in a standard module, it is recommended that you prefix the string with the module name that contains the procedure (for example, moduleName.procName), because more than one module can have a procedure with the same name.
To call a procedure in a project other than the project of the document that contains the RUNADDON function call, use the syntax projName.modName.procName (you must have explicitly set a reference to projName in your VBA project).

Beginning with Visio 2002, the RUNADDON function cannot execute a string containing arbitrary VBA code. Code that was formerly passed to the RUNADDON function can be moved to a procedure in a document's VBA project that is called from the RUNADDON function. |
For more information about running code in Visio, see About Security Settings and Running Code in Visio in this ShapeSheet Reference.
In earlier versions of Visio, this function appears as _RUNADDON. Visio versions 4.0 and later accept either style.
