Hello
I am working on a Visio panel with a few buttons, the idea is to create a quick monitoring feature controlling a SDI matrix, I am trying to make it so that when a button is clicked it will set what is connected to a certain destination to a monitor output.
I have the source value in a session variable, 125 in the example.
is there a way I access this session variable in the SET string of the button?
I have tried using var:varName in this field but I am unsure of the correct syntax.
Hi Martin,
Can you try using [var:varName]?
All you should need to make your syntax correct is to add square brackets around your “var:varName”. So your _newValue should be “[var:varName]”.
If the value is then also placed into the Execute shape data that way (so that it becomes “Set|…955:158|[var:varName]|NoConfirmation”), then I believe everything will work as you expect it.
Resources on what placeholders are, how the work and how to use them:
thank you, that solved it!
FYI, I edited my answer further to give you some resources on how to use placeholders.
Hi Martin,
I suggest to use the Router Control module if you want to do matrix management in Visual Overview.
1. create/design a configuration for the matrix you desire
2. embed that design in Visio

yeah I might try that, that you!
That was it, thank you very much!
