VisWebPageSettings.PropControl property

  • Article

Determines whether a shape's custom properties (shape data) are displayed on the webpage. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.PropControl

expression An expression that returns a VisWebPageSettings object.

Return value

Long

Remarks

PropControl returns non-zero (True) if custom properties are set to be displayed on the webpage; otherwise, it returns zero (False). The default is True.

Set PropControl to a non-zero value (True) to display custom properties on the webpage; otherwise, set it to zero (False).

If you choose to display custom properties, a Custom Properties control appears in the left frame in the browser window, displaying custom properties (shape data) that are associated with a shape when you press Ctrl and choose the shape.

If a shape is part of a group, and both the group and its subshapes have custom properties, the custom properties are displayed in the browser according to the behavior defined in the Selection list box on the Behavior dialog box (with the group shape selected, choose Behavior on the Format menu).

The selected behavior determines the display as follows:

  • With Group only or Group first, Save as Web Page displays the group's custom properties.

  • With Members first, Save as Web Page displays the subshape's custom properties when the mouse pointer moves over a subshape that has custom properties, and group custom properties for those subshapes that don't have custom properties.

This behavior can also be set in the SelectMode cell in the Group Properties section of the group shape in the Visio ShapeSheet spreadsheet.

The value of the PropControl property corresponds to the setting of the Details check box in the Publishing options list on the General tab of the Save As Web Page dialog box (BackstageButton tab > Save As > Save as type list > Web Page (*.htm;*.html) > Publish).
