cData - FindData
FindData is one of the collection of five extra windows with data capability for Visio called cData.
FindData adds the ability to search for particular custom property values, and to navigate the results
in an explorer view.
FindData is a new Visio Add-in from bVisual ltd that enables specified custom properties to be searched
in a floating or docked, resizable window. The results can be reviewed in an easy to navigate explorer
view, that can be used to select or zoom to the shape or shapes found.
Microsoft Visio SmartShapes™ can have many custom properties, but you can only search them all using
the normal Find tool in Visio, and then you have to laboriously skip from one to the next until you
find the particular shape or property that you are looking for. FindData gives you the refinement to
search for words, numbers and dates, and gives you a list of existing values to select from.
FindData creates its own list, so subsequent searches are extremely fast. The FindData window can also
be merged with other Visio windows.
The add-in can be used as a COM Add-in in Visio 2002+, or called from VB(A) in either Visio 2000 or
2002+. This means that it is immediately available to the end user, or can be included in custom solutions
by developers.
