Script doesn’t update session variable

Solved1.03K views22nd July 2022Automation script Visio Visio variables

Hi,

I'm trying to set an bunch of session variables with an script. however it seems that these get not set/updated.

When i init the var on page load it does set it, running the script doesn't update it. I'm i doing something wrong here?

Page settings:

Shape settings:

automation script snippet that should sets the variable:

for (int i = 1; i < 21; i++)
{
var number = i < 10 ? "SHUFF-A0" + i : "SHUFF-A" + i; // need to loop through all options and set all names

// if the number matches the select shuffle
if (number == shf)
{
// use a different background color
engine.AddScriptOutput(UIVariables.CreateKey(number + "_background"), "#22282D");
engine.GenerateInformation(number + "_background" + ": #22282D");
}
else
{
engine.AddScriptOutput(UIVariables.CreateKey(number + "_background"), "#3B4F5A");
engine.GenerateInformation(number + "_background" + ": #3B4F5A");
}
}

The information events does show me all the expected names and values, they are not set / updated on my visio page however.

edit: i followed this example given here:
https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Basic_Functionality/Visio/linking_shapes/Linking_a_shape_to_an_Automation_script.html#passing-automation-script-output-to-session-variables

Hi Gerwin,

I see in your code snippet that you use method UIVariables.CreateKey(...) instead of UIVariables.VisualOverview.CreateKey(...).

Right. i overlooked that since there is also the option for UIvariables.Createkey. 🙂
