MergeClass property

Microsoft Visio Developer Reference

MergeClass property

   Example   

Specifies a list of window classes that this anchored window can merge with.

Version Added

2002

Syntax

strRet = object.MergeClass
object.MergeClass = strVal

strRet

String. A list of window classes that this window can presently merge with.

object

Required. An expression that returns a Window object.

strVal

Required String. A new list of window classes that this window can merge with.

Remarks

Use semicolons to separate individual items in the list. If the MergeClass property returns a string containing "123;789", it can merge with any windows that also contain "123" or "789" in its merge class list. Windows with a merge class list that contains a zero-length string ("") can merge with other windows that contain a zero-length string ("") in their merge class list.

The MergeClass property applies only to anchored windows. If the Window object is an MDI frame window, Visio raises an exception.

At present, windows of type visDocked can be merged only with other windows of type visDocked, and windows of type visAnchorBar can be merged only with other windows of type visAnchorBar.

Use the Type property to determine window type.
