Windows.Arrange method (Visio)
Arranges the windows in a Windows collection.
Syntax
expression. Arrange( _nArrangeFlags_ )
expression A variable that represents a Windows object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| nArrangeFlags | Optional | Variant | A flag that specifies how to arrange the windows; by default, the windows are arranged vertically. |
Return value
Nothing
Remarks
Using the Arrange method is equivalent to clicking Arrange All in the Window group on the View tab. The active window remains active.
Visio considers windows from top to bottom and then from left to right. You can influence which windows will end up topmost when tiling horizontally (or leftmost when tiling vertically) by prearranging windows.
The following constants declared by the Visio type library are valid values for nArrangeFlags. These constants are also declared by the Visio type library in VisWindowArrange.
| Constant | Value |
|---|---|
| VisArrangeTileVertical | 1 |
| VisArrangeTileHorizontal | 2 |
| VisArrangeCascade | 3 |
Example
The following macro shows how to activate and arrange windows.
Public Sub Arrange_Example()
Dim vsoDocument As Visio.Document
Dim vsoWindow As Visio.Window
Dim vsoWindow2 As Visio.Window
'Create two new windows by adding documents.
Set vsoDocument = Documents.Add("")
Set vsoWindow = ActiveWindow
Set vsoDocument = Documents.Add("")
'Use the Arrange method to tile the windows
'(currently the last opened window is active).
Windows.Arrange
'Use the Activate method to make the other
'window the active window.
vsoWindow.Activate
End Sub
