In addition to these fixes, Service Release 1 (SR-1) for Visio 2000 also provides the following updates for developers:
 * The QueryCancelDocumentClose and DocumentCloseCanceled event pair now fires correctly for docked stencils.
 * Attempting to lookup a shape by GUID after the shape has been moved between windows is now successful. The operation had resulted in an &quot;Invalid sheet identifier&quot; error message.
 * The SetAnchorState function now moves an anchored window to properly reflect the new anchor state. Before the fix, the new anchor state would not be correctly synchronized with redraw.
 * Attempting to add an empty toolbar by using the SetCustomToolbars method no longer causes Visio to stop responding.
 * Menus added to empty UIObject objects created by using Automation no longer disappear upon a UI refresh. (It is still recommended that UIObject objects be created starting with a clone of the built-in application menus.)
 * The Document.ClearCustomMenus and Document.ClearCustomToolbars methods now refresh the user interface properly.
 * The WinObj.ParentWindow property now returns nothing when WinObj is a top-level window. Before the fix, it returned an apparently valid window object of type visWinOther representing the frame window.
 * Attempting to add a StatusBarItem object to a custom user interface object by using Automation no longer causes Visio to stop responding.
 * Cell.Formula now returns abbreviated units, consistent with earlier releases. Example: Before the fix, (&quot;PageWidth&quot;).Formula would return &quot;8.5 inches&quot; instead of &quot;8.5 in.&quot;.
 * Executable add-ons built with the C/C++ support files provided with Visio 4.5 or 5.x now work properly with Visio 2000.
