Microsoft Visio Developer Reference

Stat property

       

Returns status information for an object.

Version added

3.0

Syntax

intRet = object.Stat

intRet

Integer. A bit mask of status bits.

object

Required. An expression that returns an object in the Applies to list.

Remarks

If an object is a reference to an entity in a document, and if that document closes, the Stat property returns a value in which the visStatClosed bit is set.

If an object is a reference to an entity that has been deleted, the Stat property returns a value in which the visStatDeleted bit is set.

A Component Object Model (COM) object, such as a Visio document object, lives as long as it is held (pointed to) by a client, even if the object is logically in a deleted or closed state.
