Vwa.Shape.getId Method

SharePoint 2013

Last modified: June 21, 2012

Applies to: apps for SharePoint | SharePoint Server 2013

Returns the identifier (ID) of the shape within the Web Drawing.

JScript
Copy 
var value = Shape.getID()

string The ID of the shape within the Web Drawing.

The shape ID returned is based on the value of the Shape.ID property of the corresponding Microsoft Visio 2013 shape when the diagram is published as a Web Drawing. For shapes that are not on background pages, the ID is constructed by prefixing that property value with an underscore character.

For more information about how to add a Visio Web Access Web Part to a SharePoint Web Parts page, see Customizing Visio Web Drawings in the Visio Web Access Web Part.

The following example adds a handler to the Vwa.shapeselectionchanged event that creates either an HTML or a XAML transparent overlay on the selected shape, depending on the display mode.
