The last post on ‘Modifying the Visio Grid shape’ demonstrates how to change the resizing behaviour of a complex shape from a ShapeSheet perspective. I used the word ‘modifying’ but, in fact, it’s actually a new shape and one built using code and it’s this aspect that I thought I’d focus on in this post.
I’d love to encourage anyone who’s not written any code before to keep reading as I think this makes a good challenge for new coders. If you’re in that boat then you might also want to have a quick read through Just for starters and Looping through to get you going, but the code below has lots of comments and is hopefully self explanatory.
