Represents the ShapeDataItemCollection for a given Shape.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: 1.1 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

items

Gets the loaded child items in this collection.

Methods

getCount()

Gets the number of Shape Data Items.

getItem(key)

Gets the ShapeDataItem using its name.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Visio.ShapeDataItemCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Visio.Interfaces.ShapeDataItemCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.

load(options)

    const shape = activePage.shapes.getItem(0);
    const shapeDataItems = shape.shapeDataItems;
    shapeDataItems.load(["label", "value"]);
    return ctx.sync().then(function() {
        for (let i = 0; i < shapeDataItems.items.length; i++) {
            console.log(shapeDataItems.items[i].label);
            console.log(shapeDataItems.items[i].value);
        }
    });
}).catch(function(error) {
    console.log("Error: " + error);
    if (error instanceof OfficeExtension.Error) {
        console.log("Debug info: " + JSON.stringify(error.debugInfo));
    }
});
