Viewer.GetPageView method (Visio Viewer)

Gets the position and zoom factor (size) of the drawing page in Microsoft Visio Viewer.

Syntax

expression.GetPageView (PageXAtViewCenter, PageYAtViewCenter, ZoomFactor)

expression An expression that returns a Viewer object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
PageXAtViewCenter	Required	Double	The x-coordinate of the center of the page, in drawing-page units, measured from the lower-left corner of the page.
PageYAtViewCenter	Required	Double	The y-coordinate of the center of the page, in drawing-page units, measured from the lower-left corner of the page.
ZoomFactor	Required	Double	The factor by which the zoom (page size) is multiplied.

Return value

Nothing

Remarks

The page view consists of the center point of the page, expressed in x-y page coordinates, with the origin of the coordinate system at the lower-left corner of the page, and the zoom factor, expressed as a numerical percentage, with a range from 1% to 400%.

Use the SetPageView method to set the current page-view values.

The GetPageView method itself returns nothing, but its parameters are all out-parameters. If you pass a variable of type Double for each parameter, Visio Viewer returns the respective values of each parameter, as shown in the example in this topic.

The GetPageView method gets the coordinates of the point in the page coordinate system that is at the center of the Visio Viewer window. For example, if Visio Viewer returns 0 for both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate, the lower-left corner of the page (the origin of the page's coordinate system) is in the center of the Visio Viewer window. If the page is 8 page-units wide by 10 page-units high, and the center of the page is at the center of the Visio Viewer window, PageXAtViewCenter returns 4 and PageYAtViewCenter returns 5.

The ZoomFactor parameter value is the factor by which both dimensions of the page are multiplied. For example, a ZoomFactor value of .5 means that the page is both half as high and half as wide as it is in the source Visio drawing.

Example

The following code shows how to get the current position and zoom factor of the page that is open in Visio Viewer.

 Dim dblXPoint As Double

    Dim dblYPoint As Double

    Dim dblZoomFactor As Double

    vsoViewer.GetPageView dblXPoint, dblYPoint, dblZoomFactor

    Debug.Print "x-coordinate is:"; dblXPoint

    Debug.Print "y-coordinate is:"; dblYPoint

    Debug.Print "Zoom factor is:"; dblZoomFactor
