Hi all,
I wish that instead of choosing from a list of params from a table(like in the image bellow) to chose from a list of Elements in a View. ( I would prefer not to hard code all element names/id in the Visio)
How can I accomplish this ?
Thanks.
As this question has now been open for a long time and there has been no further reaction from you, I will now close it. If you still want more information about this, could you post a new question?
I would recommend having a look at these videos:
Children shape - DataMiner Dojo
They explain how you can generate shapes dynamically. On the children shapes you can have then your SetVar option. If your childshape is linked to an element you can use placeholders such as [this elementID]. In our documentation, you will find that you have the option “ForcePropertyFromParent” to have this resolved to the element ID of the parent shape and not to the elementID where the Visio is applied.
Hi Michiel,
Thanks. I am able to generate Shapes as you suggested.
What should I use as a Variable ?
I saw something in a demo about using ComponentsVisio_IDOfSelection. But what is the syntax ?
Thanks.
Hi Daniel, It is a little hard to understand exactly what you are trying to achieve. If the children shapes are the elements from which you want to display data, you can build a visio on the element (if there is already a visio you can also add a page to it, can even be hidden). This will be easier to keep things simple and then you can load that visio or that page into your main visio based on a selection through the vdxpage option.
Hi,
I see that this question has been inactive for some time. Do you still need help with this? If you’ve been able to solve this with Michiel’s answer, could you select the answer?
