Getting Custom Properties

[Marco Filippini]

I'm writing an add-in in c#.
I need to get and set custom properties of document and shapes.
Does anybody know how to do it?

Thx in advance, Marco

Hi Marco,

hope the following example code helps.

Best regards,
Markus

IVShape vShape = ...;
IVSection vSection;

// create custom properties section, if not existent
if (vShape.get_SectionExists( (short) VisSectionIndices.visSectionProp, 1 )
== 0)
{
vShape.AddSection( (short) VisSectionIndices.visSectionProp );
}

// get custom property section
vSection = vShape.get_Section( (short) VisSectionIndices.visSectionProp );

// set custom property label (_index = row number)
vShape.get_CellsSRC( (short) VisSectionIndices.visSectionProp, (short)
((short) VisRowIndices.visRowProp + _index), (short)
VisCellIndices.visCustPropsLabel ).Formula = newLabel;

// set custom property value (_index = row number)
vShape.get_CellsSRC( (short) VisSectionIndices.visSectionProp, (short)
((short) VisRowIndices.visRowProp + _index), (short)
VisCellIndices.visCustPropsValue ).Formula = newValue;
