Event.GetFilterActions method (Visio)

  • Article

Returns an array of the filter actions set for the Event object.

Syntax

expression. GetFilterActions

expression An expression that returns an Event object.

Return value

Long()

Remarks

The event filters described in the array returned by the GetFilterActions method provide developers a way of ignoring specified mouse-event extensions based on extension (action) type. The array returned is that passed to the SetFilterActions method for this Event object. The array that is returned by the GetFilterActions method can be interpreted in the following manner.

The number of elements in the array is a multiple of 3, as follows:

  • The first element contains the beginning mouse action (MouseMove event extension) of the range (any member of VisFilterActions).

  • The second element contains the end mouse action (MouseMove event extension) of the range (any member of VisFilterActions whose value is higher than that of the first element ).

  • The third element contains a True or False value indicating whether you want to listen to events for that action range (True to listen to events of a certain sub-type, or MouseMove event extension; False to exclude an event sub-type).

The filter actions that are returned in the first and second array elements of each element triplet are defined in the VisFilterActions enumeration, which is declared in the Visio type library, and shown in the following table. Note that mouse actions that occupy the second position in an array-element triplet will always be later in the sequence (that is, higher in value) than those that occupy the first position in an array-element triplet.

Constant Value Description
visFilterMouseMoveDragBegin 1 Filter the DragBegin extension of the MouseMove event.
visFilterMouseMoveDragDrop 5 Filter the DragDrop extension of the MouseMove event.
visFilterMouseMoveDragEnter 2 Filter the DragEnter extension of the MouseMove event.
visFilterMouseMoveDragLeave 4 Filter the DragLeave extension of the MouseMove event.
visFilterMouseMoveDragOver 3 Filter the DragOver extension of the MouseMove event.
visFilterMouseMoveNoDrag 0 Do not filter any extensions of the MouseMove event.
