Visio.Application class

Package:

visio

Represents the Application.

Extends

OfficeExtension.ClientObject

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.
showBorders	Shows or hides the iframe application borders.
showToolbars	Shows or hides the standard toolbars.

Methods

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.
set(properties, options)	Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.
set(properties)	Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.
setMockData(data)	Set mock data
showToolbar(id, show)	Sets the visibility of a specific toolbar in the application.
showToolbar(idString, show)	Sets the visibility of a specific toolbar in the application.
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.Application object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Visio.Interfaces.ApplicationData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
