Public API Changes in Aspose.Diagram 6.8.0

This document describes changes to the Aspose.Diagram API from version 6.6.0 to 6.8.0, that may be of interest to module/application developers. It includes not only new and updated public methods, but also a description of any changes in the behavior behind the scenes in Aspose.Diagram.

Insert an ActiveX Control

Developers may insert an ActiveX control in the Visio diagram. We have added AddActiveXControl method in the Page class. Please check this code example:

 // load an existing Visio diagram

Diagram diagram = new Diagram();

// insert an ActiveX control

diagram.Pages[0].AddActiveXControl(ControlType.Image, 1, 1, 1, 1);

// save diagram

diagram.Save(@"C:\temp\MyOutput.vsdx", SaveFileFormat.VSDX);

Set the Color CheckBox of Layer

Developers can set or get the Color CheckBox of Layer using Aspose.Diagram API. Please check this code example:

 // Load source Visio diagram

Diagram diagram = new Diagram(@"c:\temp\Drawing1.vsdx");

// Get Visio page

Aspose.Diagram.Page page = diagram.Pages.GetPage("Page-1");

// Initialize a new Layer class object

Layer layer = new Layer();

// Set Layer name

layer.Name.Value = "Layer1";

// Set Layer Visibility

layer.Visible.Value = BOOL.True;

// set the color checkbox of Layer

layer.IsColorChecked = BOOL.True;

// Add Layer to the particular page sheet

page.PageSheet.Layers.Add(layer);

// Get shape by ID

Shape shape = page.Shapes.GetShape(3);

// Assign shape to this new Layer

shape.LayerMem.LayerMember.Value = layer.IX.ToString();

// Save diagram

diagram.Save(@"c:\temp\AddLayer_Out.vsdx", SaveFileFormat.VSDX);

Adds InheritFill Property in the Shape Class

Developers may get or set the inherit fill property. We have added InheritFill property in the Shape class. Please check this code example:

 // call the diagram constructor to load a VSDX diagram

Diagram diagram = new Diagram(@"c:\temp\Drawing1.vsdx");

// get page by ID

Page page = diagram.Pages.GetPage("Page-1");

// get shape by ID

Shape shape = page.Shapes.GetShape(1);

// get the fill formatting values

Console.WriteLine(shape.InheritFill.FillBkgnd.Value);

Console.WriteLine(shape.InheritFill.FillForegnd.Value);

Console.WriteLine(shape.InheritFill.FillPattern.Value);
