User name and initials

Aspose.Diagram Product Family
1

Hi.
Does aspose supports to set user name and / or initials during adding comments? Currently we creating some annotation, and comment it(programmaticaly), but we can’t set annotation creator, just text and datetime stamp. So, comments looks like this:1.png (15.1 KB)

But in Visio we can set user name and initials (in options):2.png (15.8 KB)

As result, reply or comment has the author: 3.png (6.8 KB)

It’s would be sufficient if we will can specify just user name only.

Thank you for contacting support.

We are afraid that specifying a user name on a comment may not be supported at the moment. However, an enhancement ticket with ID DIAGRAMNET-51503 has been logged in our issue management system for further investigation and resolution. The ticket ID has been linked with this thread so that you will receive notification as soon as the ticket is resolved.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

We have further investigated DIAGRAMNET-51503 and like to request you to to set author for a comment as under:

 var firstPageAnnotations = diagram.Pages[0].PageSheet.Annotations;
 foreach (Aspose.Diagram.Annotation annotation in firstPageAnnotations)
 {
    annotation.ReviewerID.Value = 1;
 }

And if you want to change author’s name, please use below line of code:

diagram.DocumentSheet.Reviewers[0].Name.Value = "tom";

We have attached generated VSDX file for your kind reference Comments.zip. We hope this will be helpful.

Thanks. It works.
But how I can create one comment from one reviewer, and second comment from another reviewer in empty document. I cant create new reviewer because constructor of Reviewer class is private.
