Visio: Can't get Text Data in "Textboxes" to Export Properly using Reports or Databased Export Wizard

Clarification: by textbox -- I mean a "text" shape created by using the "A Text" tool that appears in the ribbon. They are just free text boxes that are not associated w/
any other shape.
Hi. I am using Visio Professional 2010.  I am interested in extracting from each of my visio diagrams/drawings the text information that is shown in textboxes.
I've tried using the Database Export Wizard and the Reports add-on; neither work. I've tried exporting to Excel and to Access.
What I end up w/ is for some textboxes, the contained text is exported. But for other textboxes, nothing is exported or in some cases just a single letter/character is exported. I checked the number of characters in each textbox and all but one have fewer
than 255 characters -- (if that makes a difference??). Some textboxes contain newline character (i.e., carriage returns). Does that make a difference?
I've looked at previous questions and answers on the web and on this forum re. this topic and followed the proscribed advice, w/ no success. So any additional advice anyone can provide me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks -
CJA

Hey Chris,
I tried exporting the text in visio drawing using database export wizard and found that yes the text which is associated with the sub group doesn't get exported.
So the solution I think would work is that we have to write a macro which would read the shape.text property and it should check that if the shape is a group shape then it would check the sub shapes to get the text associated with them.
You can refer to following msdn page to write this macro,
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff766497(v=office.15).aspx
Let me know if you need further help to resolve your issue or if I have missed something.

    I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

    You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

    how can I get a date picker or wheel to show up in the form to make filling in a form with a lot of dates more easy?

    There is no built-in date picker available for forms created in Acrobat. There are some third-party solutions involving JavaScript (either a large collection of fields or a custom dialog) though. Also, text fields with date formatting will use a wheel type date picker on Android/iOS devices with Adobe Reader.

  • How can i get the data from database & add them as a link

    Hi,
    how can i get a data from a database(DB2) and that data will be having a file so i should make them as a link.i tried it in jsp .
    <%
    Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
    Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver");     
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    Connection conn = null;
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2:spintran");
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    stmt.executeQuery("set current schema tut");
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from tutorial");     
    %>
    Type Of the Category : &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp
    <%
         while (rs.next())
         String desc = rs.getString(1);     
         out.println(desc);
    %>
         <A HREF = "<%=desc%>"><%=desc%> </A>
         <%
         %>
    but it is not working.how can i link.
    thank you.

    what is desc? is it the file name ? whats the data type of desc in db? INFILE?
    if desc is just the name of the file, then make sure that such a file exists in the proper folder.only then the link works..
    that is, if desc is 'a.jpg' then a.jpg should be existing in the same folder as your html is.

  • Lost all of my data on iphone and have no cloud back up how can i get my data back

    lost all of my data on iphone and have no cloud back up how can i get my data back

    iOS devices do backup automatically to iCloud providing:
    iCloud Backup is turned on
    It has a Wi-Fi connection
    It is connected to a power source
    The screen is off
    5GB is plenty of storage for me to backup to iCloud automatically.
    I have a 64GB iPhone & a 128GB iPad both backing up to the same iCloud account and I still have nearly 2GB free.
    This is mainly because media is not backed up and Photo Stream & iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud storage.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries.

  • Can not get Text-to-Speech to work

    I can not get Text-to-Speech to work. In "Settings", I can go into "Voice input & output", then to "Voice Output; Text-to-speech settings" and then to "Install voice data; Install the voice data required for speech synthesis" but it is "grayed out". I have downloaded Pico TTS several times and I have soft-reset and hard-reset the device several times. Still no text-to-speech
    Any thoughts on what I can do to get text to speech to work?

    Odd.... I tried both Vlingo and Handcent and neither of those did Text to speech either. Very odd. I am using same Bluetooth headset that worked on my other HTC device.
    Any other thoughts?
    Did you activate InCar in Vlingo?  I just checked this and it works for me.  Once you activate InCar, you should hear "Vlingo InCar".
    If Vlingo InCar doesn't work for you, have you considered getting another Bluetooth headset that has the ability to read texts to you, like the Blueant Q2?

    If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
    Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

  • Why the 2LIS_08TRTK extractor can not get  all data

    Hello, BW Gurus.
    Why the 2LIS_08TRTK and 2LIS_08TRTLP extractors can not get all data. I had used the RSA3 and get 10 registers, when a check at the VTTK table I had 20 registers, I didnt use filters at RSA3, could you help to know what happen o correct it.

    Is it because
    <i>
    Shipment documents and their dependent objects (shipment stages as well as shipment items [deliveries in the shipment]) are only extracted into BW when the Shipment completion status has been set.
    This is necessary because the numeric values that result from the delivery documents are only established at the time. If the data were already stored earlier in BW, the shipment data would not be updated if the delivery notes were changed in BW.

  • How can I get the data array from SQL Server Database?

    Hi,
    I can write a data array(2D)into a table of my SQL Server Database. The data array was writen to a column with image type. I know a data array is transformed a binary string when writing into database, but I dont know how to get the data array when I fetch the binary string from database.
    My question is:
    How to transform the binary string into data array? which vi's should I use? I have tried unflatten from string but failed.
    Any response is appriciated.

    In order to use Unflatten from string you first need to Flatten it
    before writing it. Also depending on the database driver, the returned
    data may actually not be binary but Hexadecimal encoded ASCII which you
    would first have to decode to binray.

  • How Can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP in WebDynpro

    Hi,
    I hope u understand my query, How can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP thru WebDynpro Programming.
    Help out with the steps for getting the data or procedure.
    Regards,
    Mutyapu

    You can expose the APIs in the Non-SAP backend as Web Services, and consume them in SAP by creating an Enterprise Proxy. Then these can be called just like normal class methods from Web Dynpro.
