Setting The Style	The Style attribute is used for setting the appearance of a DiagramObject; it is set with a string value in the format: BCol=n;BFol=n;LCol=n;LWth=n; where: BCol = Background Color BFol = Font Color LCol = Line Color LWth = Line Width The color value is a decimal representation of the hex RGB value, where Red=FF, Green=FF00 and Blue=FF0000; for example: DiagObj.Style = "BCol=35723;BFol=9342520;LCol=9342520;LWth=1;" The following code snippet shows how you might change the style settings for all of the objects in the current diagram, in this case changing everything to red: For Each aDiagObj In aDiag.DiagramObjects aDiagObj.Style = "BCol=255;BFol=9342520;LCol=9342520;LWth=1;" aDiagObj.Update aRepos.ReloadDiagram aDiagObj.DiagramID Next
