Using Visio InterOp in VB.Net - Loading Visio silently

[Dean Richardson]

Hello,

I am having problems loading the visio application silently. When I
load word in the background in VB.NET, it remains hidden and the user
doesn't know its loaded.

However, when I load Visio in the background, the window pops up and
then disappears. Is this a fault with the visio interop libraries, or
can this be fixed?

At the moment, I am using the same code that opens word to open visio.

Is there a better way to open visio in VB.NET?

Thanks in Advance.

Dean

It might be easier to help you if you post the code you are using.

I've the same problem
I'd like to create a Visio Document silently but Visio is opened!!!

This is my code:

Dim vApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.Application
Dim vDoc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.Document
vApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.Application
vDoc = vApp.Documents.Add("")
vDoc.SaveAs("c:\temp\Item1.vsd")
vDoc.Close()
vApp.Quit()
vDoc = Nothing
vApp = Nothing
