VisWebPageSettings.SecFormat property

  • Article

Specifies the secondary output format for the webpage. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.SecFormat

expression An expression that returns a VisWebPageSettings object.

Return value

String

Remarks

The secondary output format is used if the browser does not support the primary output format. For example, if the primary format is XAML and the required Silverlight browser plug-in is not installed, the webpage output uses the secondary format.

The primary output format is specified by the PriFormat property. For information about which browsers are compatible with selected formats, see the AltFormat property.

Possible values for the SecFormat property are as follows:

  • PNG (Portable Network Graphics), the default
  • JPG (JPEG File Interchange Format)
  • GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)

This value corresponds to the value selected in the list below the Provide alternate format for older browsers check box (if it is selected) on the Advanced tab of the Save as Web Page dialog box (BackstageButton tab > Save As > Save as type list > Web Page (*.htm;*.html) > Publish > Advanced).

Example

The following macro shows how to use the SecFormat property to set the secondary format value to JPG for browsers that don't support the primary format of XAML (the default).

Before running this macro, replace path\filename.htm with a valid target path on your computer and the filename that you want to assign to your webpage.

Public Sub SecFormat_Example() 
 Dim vsoSaveAsWeb As VisSaveAsWeb 
 Dim vsowebSettings As VisWebPageSettings 
 
 Set vsoSaveAsWeb = Visio.Application.SaveAsWebObject 
 Set vsoWebSettings = vsoSaveAsWeb.WebPageSettings 
 
 With vsoWebSettings 
 .AltFormat = True 
 .SecFormat = "JPG" 
 .TargetPath = "path\filename.htm" 
 End With 
 
 vsoSaveAsWeb.CreatePages 
End Sub
