Modify Properties of ActiveX Control & Insert Text Shape in Visio Drawing inside Java Apps

What's New in this Release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for Java 16.11.0. This new version of the API has come with improved performance along with new features. It allows developers to insert a text shape anywhere in the Visio drawing. Developers can also retrieve ActiveX controls, like command button, combobox, checkbox, listbox, textbox, spin button, radio button, label, image, toggle button and scrollbar from a Visio drawing, and then change their properties. Developers would also notice an improvement in converting VSD diagrams to PDFs. There is no way to add text directly in the Visio drawing. Users can add text through creating the text shapes like on the Home tab, under Tools group, click “A Text” button, and then draw in the Visio drawing. Developers can add this feature in their project applications using Aspose.Diagram API. From now onward, they may not add any alternative shapes from the stencil files. The last two API versions (6.8.0 and 16.10.0) have support of adding an ActiveX control in the Visio drawing. Developers were not able to retrieve an ActiveX control from an existing Visio drawing to modify it. Using this new API version, they can retrieve a Visio shape as usual like in the earlier versions, additionally can retrieve an ActiveX control from a Visio shape object, and then modify its properties. This release includes several enhanced features and bug fixes as listed below

• Performance issue with exporting a VSD to PDF.
