Visio.ShapeDataItem class

Package:

visio

Represents the ShapeDataItem.

Extends

OfficeExtension.ClientObject

Remarks

[ API set: 1.1 ]

Properties

context	The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.
format	A string that specifies the format of the shape data item.
formattedValue	A string that specifies the formatted value of the shape data item.
label	A string that specifies the label of the shape data item.
value	A string that specifies the value of the shape data item.

Methods

load(options)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)	Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
setMockData(data)	Set mock data
toJSON()	Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Visio.ShapeDataItem object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Visio.Interfaces.ShapeDataItemData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

Visio.ShapeDataItem

Examples

Visio.run(session, function (ctx) {
    const activePage = ctx.document.getActivePage();
    const shape = activePage.shapes.getItem(0);
    const shapeDataItem = shape.shapeDataItems.getItem(0);
    shapeDataItem.load(["label", "value"]);
        return ctx.sync().then(function() {
            console.log(shapeDataItem.label);
            console.log(shapeDataItem.value);
        });
}).catch(function(error) {
    console.log("Error: " + error);
    if (error instanceof OfficeExtension.Error) {
        console.log("Debug info: " + JSON.stringify(error.debugInfo));
    }
});
