Window.ReviewerMarkupVisible property (Visio)

Determines whether reviewer markup, for a particular reviewer or all reviewers, is visible in a Microsoft Visio window that displays a drawing page. Read/write.

Syntax

expression. ReviewerMarkupVisible( _ReviewerID_ )

expression A variable that represents a Window object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
ReviewerID	Optional	Long	The ID of a particular reviewer. If you don't pass a reviewer ID, the ReviewerMarkupVisible property value specifies visibility for all reviewers.

Return value

Boolean

Remarks

Use the ReviewerMarkupVisible property to get and set the current status (visible or not) of reviewer markup, either for one or all reviewers, in a window that can display markup overlays. Setting the ReviewerMarkupVisible property corresponds to setting reviewer visibility status in the Show Markup Overlays section of the Reviewing task pane in the user interface. For example, setting ReviewerMarkupVisible to True without passing a value for ReviewerID is equivalent to clicking Show All in the Reviewing task pane. And setting ReviewerMarkupVisible to False while passing the ID of a particular reviewer is equivalent to clearing the box for that reviewer in the taskpane.

The ReviewerMarkupVisible property is enabled only when the parent window displays a Visio drawing page, and not another type of Visio window, such as a stencil or ShapeSheet window, for example.

When viewing markup is disabled in the user interface, setting the ReviewerMarkupVisible property is also disabled. If you attempt to set ReviewerMarkupVisible when viewing markup is disabled, Visio will display an error message. To be able to set ReviewerMarkupVisible, you must enable viewing markup by clicking Show Markup on the Review tab. Alternatively, you can enable viewing markup on existing markup overlays by changing the value of the ViewMarkup cell in the Document Properties section of the document's ShapeSheet. Use the following code:

ActiveDocument.DocumentSheet.CellsSRC(visSectionObject, visRowDoc, visDocViewMarkup).FormulaU = True

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro uses the ReviewerMarkupVisible property to get the current visibility status of reviewer markup for all reviewers in the active Visio drawing window. Then it switches the status to the opposite value. This example assumes that the active window contains markup overlays.

Public Sub ReviewerMarkupVisible_Example() 
 
 ActiveWindow.Document.DocumentSheet.CellsSRC(visSectionObject, visRowDoc, visDocViewMarkup).FormulaU = True 
 
 Debug.Print ActiveWindow.ReviewerMarkupVisible 
 ActiveWindow.ReviewerMarkupVisible = Not ActiveWindow.ReviewerMarkupVisible 
 Debug.Print ActiveWindow.ReviewerMarkupVisible 
 
End Sub
