Visio – Trend button with variables

Solved1.26K views22nd December 2022

Hi,

I'm trying to make a button which is opening a vdxpage with Trending.
When I make two seperat buttons it's working fine. One is settings the variables, the other one is opening the vdxpage in a window. But I like to have it in one button.

If I use SetVarOptions:Control=Shape, it's not working.

Ideally I want to have a shape which is showing a value. If you click on the value a window is opening with the trend for this parameter. Inner shape:

Outer shape:

Can someone help me to achieve it?

Can you clarify what “not working” means? Is the popup not opening, is the trend graph not being shown, are the variables not being populated?

Stefan Schedletzky [DevOps Enabler] commented 21st December 2022

Hi Toon,

it’s not opening the vdxpage. If I make two separate buttons it’s working. One for SetVar and one for vdxpage. But both together I would like to combine.

Apparently, SetVar takes precedence over shapes with Tooltip/Popup/Window VdxPage shape data on them that aren't linked to anything else.

It seems to me it would be better if it worked differently priority wise, but you can work around it by linking the shape to something (be that a view, element...) and then using the NoAlarmColorFill option to get the same visual outcome.
