I've never tried it but, as long as Visio is installed, I think you should be able to use a WebBrowser control to host a file. It works with Word and Excel but Viso is newer to the Office family so maybe not.

If you want to do it without Visio installed then you would have to use a third-party component. There couldn't be many available so a web search would be your best bet.

Something I found here might be what your looking for, sorry it is in C#.

Cool. Just note that, again, that will require Visio to be installed on the target machine because you cannot distribute the ActiveX control on its own. Also, note that that is the same ActiveX control that would get automatically embedded in a WebBrowser control.

where i can get more information : like how to add chair, desk, etc.etc ??
