We have a use case where we would like to have a button launch a popup to an element's Data:Spectrum Analyzer page, giving the user full access to the Spectrum analyzer in a popup window. We tried using the Component function; however, this does not show the Spectrum top menu bar needed to fully control the Spectrum capabilities. Is there a way to have a Visio shape show a specific element data: page so we can show as a popup window using vdxpage?
Thanks,
Steve
Hi Steve,
There is indeed a problem with the option ShowRibbon=true. We have already a task to fix it and the task should be picked up soon.
Hi Steve,
In your component function you can add options. If you add the option ShowRibbon=true you will get the top menu bar. You can also check the example in the docs: Embedding a Spectrum Analysis component | DataMiner Docs
Hello Michaël,
In this case, we already have an embedded spectrum component that does not show the ribbon as desired. We want the real element card to popup in a window when a shape is clicked. Below is a mockup of what we want the end result to be:
As a workaround, I've tried to embed a bigger spectrum shape on a Visio page with the intention of using VdxPage to popup the bigger panel for full parameter control, but ShowRibbon=true does not seem to make any difference on the shape. The embedded spectrum element never has the ribbon displayed.
It does appear to be an option to right-click on the shape and open the element in an undocked card or using shift-click, but we'd like this to occur by default when clicking this shape. Is this possible to achieve?
Thank you,
Hello Michaël, I've added some context in a separate answer below. thanks.
