If visOpenDocked is specified, the file appears in a docked rather than an MDI window, provided that the file is a stencil file and there is an active drawing window in which to put the docked stencil window.
If visOpenDontList is specified, the name of the opened file doesn't appear in the list of recently opened documents on the File menu.
If visOpenMinimized is specified, the file opens minimized—it is not active. This flag is not supported in versions of Visio earlier than 5.0b.
If visOpenMacrosDisabled is specified, the file opens with VBA macros disabled. This flag is not supported in versions earlier than Microsoft Visio 2002.
