How to turn on 'Show VSTO Add-in user interface errors' in Microsoft Visio?


Microsoft Word has this option to get extra debugging info for Office VSTO solutions:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/vsto/how-to-show-add-in-user-interface-errors?view=vs-2019

I cannot locate this option in Microsoft Visio in this location or under Add-ins in the Options menu.

Is there any way to turn this on in Visio? Thank you for your help!

  • Have just read a related article from David Parker here:

    He says this option is office-wide, so enabling it in Excel for example should also enable it for Visio.
