cData - GridData
GridData is one of the collection of five extra windows with data capability for Visio called cData.
GridData adds multi-line, and multi-shape text viewing and editing to Microsoft Visio SmartShapes™ and
pages, further enriching the graphical data experience.
GridData is a new Visio Add-in from bVisual ltd that enables multi-line and multi-shape text viewing
and editing in a floating or docked, resizable window. GridData can export to text files, and you can
sum or average the numeric data in columns simply.
Microsoft Visio SmartShapes can have many custom properties, and there are two alternative built-in
methods of editing them, but they only cater for single-line, single-shape text. GridData gives you
the ability to view or edit up to 64k characters in each custom property, data or comment cell in an
Excel-like grid.
The user can configure the GridData window to have as many columns as required for easy display and
editing of a SmartShape or page’s Comment, Data or text Custom Properties. The GridData 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.
