Hi, I'm currently working on a project to allow users who don't have Visio installed to view Visio diagrams embedded a web page (IE6). A key requirement for this project is to allow the users to access any hyperlinks that are in the original Visio diagram. I've played around with the Visio Viewer and embedding that in a web page, but it seems to offer a very disjointed user experience (displaying the toolbar at the bottom of the object, allowing the user to move the document around etc.). I'd ideally like to display the Visio diagram seamlessly within the web page, like an image. There would be other content around the Visio diagram e.g. text. I've looked at other options e.g. saving the Visio diagram as an image but that doesn't persist the hyperlinks. Can anyone offer any advice around this? Thanks as always Shivonne
The Visio Viewer API allows you to modify the toolbars, and to get access to multiple hyperlinks on each shape. The UI does not give you this flexibility, but you could script the web page to list all of the hyperlinks on any selected shape in the Visio Viewer.
