In-Depth Information
The Visio Web Access web part header includes a number of options:
•
Open in Visio: opens the file in either Read-Only or Edit mode,
assuming you have the Visio client installed on your machine.
•
Refresh: refreshes the data on the current page of the diagram.
You can have more than one page in a diagram.
•
Choose Page: displays any page from the web drawing.
•
Zoom in/out: zooms the image from 10 to 200 percent.
•
Zoom to fit page to view: fits the diagram to the web part height
and width.
•
Shape Info: displays a Shape Information pane (movable on the
diagram) that provides Shape Data and any hyperlinks on the
shape.
■
You can move the image in any direction by clicking and holding the left mouse
button. You can use the scroll button on your mouse to zoom the diagram in or out.
Note
Visio Web Access Web Part Connections
Visio Web Access web parts support two-way communications, providing rich interaction
with other web parts on the page. They can act as both consumer and provider. Web part
connections can be directly configured in the browser.
■
After configuring the connections, if you use the view source option of the browser
to view the page, you'll notice that these web part connections are built using JavaScript.
Tip
There are many scenarios in which these connections can be helpful. You have
already seen how to use a VWA web part that can load a .vsdx file and connect to a
SharePoint list. Let's use the same SharePoint list and try to filter the information and
reveal the shape that results from the filter criteria:
1.
Create a new site page (Airport Stats.aspx in this case) and
add the VWA web part. Configure it to load the airport_with_
data.vsdx drawing file or the Airport.vdw file if you haven't
saved the file with a different name. Also add the list web part
(Airport Flight Stats), as shown in Figure
4-21
.
