Example
This example shows how to use the Visible property to determine if a UIObject object is visible in the user interface. The example adds a custom toolbar to the cloned toolbars collection. This toolbar appears in the Microsoft Office Visio user interface and is available while the document is active.
To restore the built-in Visio toolbars after you run this macro, call the ThisDocument.ClearCustomToolbars method.
