Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the MasterShortcuts property to get the collection of master shortcuts in a document stencil.

Before running this example, replace the reference to StencilWithShortucts.vss with a reference to a valid .vss file that contains master shortcuts.

To create a stencil that contains master shortcuts:
  1. Open an existing stencil. (On the File menu, point to Shapes, point to a solution folder, and then click a stencil.)
  2. Right-click a master in the stencil and click Copy.
  3. Create a new stencil. (On the File menu, point to Shapes, and then click New Stencil (US Units) or New Stencil (Metric).)
  4. Right-click the new stencil and click Paste Shortcut.
  5. Save the new stencil. (Right-click its title bar and click Save.)

In the following code, replace StencilWithShortcuts.vss with the name of your new stencil.

    Dim vsoStencil As Visio.Document 

'Get a stencil that contains some shortcuts. 
Set vsoStencil = Application.Documents ("<em>StencilWithShortcuts.vss</em>") 
Set vsoMasterShortcuts = vsoStencil.MasterShortcuts
