Page.OriginalPage Property

  • Article
Visio Automation Reference

Returns the Page object that represents the original Microsoft Office Visio drawing page that was marked up on separate markup overlays by reviewers of the drawing. Read-only.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Visio 2003

Syntax

expression.OriginalPage

expression   A variable that represents a Page object.

Return Value
Page

Remarks

If the Page parent object is not a markup overlay, OriginalPage returns an error. To determine if a page is a markup overlay, check to see whether Page.Type = visTypeMarkup (3).

When a user clicks Track Markup, Visio creates a new page of type visTypeMarkup. The original page has type visTypeForeground or visTypeBackground. Each markup overlay is associated with a unique original drawing page.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro uses the OriginalPage property to get the name of the original page that was marked up on a markup overlay and display it in the Immediate window. Before running this macro, make sure that a drawing page is displayed in the active window.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public Sub OriginalPage_Example()

'Turn on Track Markup to make a markup overlay the active page. 
Application.ActiveDocument.DocumentSheet.CellsSRC(visSectionObject, visRowDoc, visDocAddMarkup).FormulaU = True

'Display the name of the original page that currently is being marked up. 
Debug.Print ActivePage.OriginalPage.Name



End Sub
