Wrong Values for Shape.getName(), Shape.getNameU()

Aspose.Diagram Product Family
1

In some cases we observe (with Aspose Diagram 21.9.0 for Java), that the results of

Shape.getName()

Shape.getNameU()

don’t match the results of VBA Shape.Name and Shape.NameU respectively.

I enclosed a small example (wrong-name-example.vsd) with just two shapes.

For the shape with id 63 and Aspose Diagram 21.9 we get:

Shape.getName(): ”Sheet.63”

Shape.getNameU(): ””

In Visio and via VBA we see

Name: ”Wand 2.4”

NameU: ”Wand 2.4”

The locale should match in both cases.

If we save the file in the vsdx format, we also get these correct values with Aspose Diagram.

We tried to test the scenario in our environment using 22.4 version of the API and faced an exception. However, we have logged all these details under the ticket DIAGRAMJAVA-50936 in our issue tracking system for further investigation. We will look into its details and let you know as soon as the ticket is resolved. Please be patient and spare us some time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the quick response.
I don’t get any exception when accessing the names of the two shapes (and some other information) in the file with version 21.9. I guess, I don’t have access to your ticket system.
Let me know, if I should retry with a different version or provide additional information.

The ticket has been logged in our internal issue management system and you will not be able to access it. However, we will keep you posted in this forum thread about ticket status. Furthermore, could you please try using the latest version and share the sample code snippet with us that you are using to get the shape properties?

Below is the code; nothing fancy, it just gets all the shapes on the page (including shapes in groups) and prints their names. I get the same result with Aspose 22.4 (no exception, output:

Page Blatt-1, ID:5
shape: id:1451, name:Sheet.1451, nameu:
shape: id:63, name:Sheet.63, nameu:

).

public class Bug {
public static void addShapes(ArrayList res, Shape shape) {
res.add(shape);
ShapeCollection shapes= shape.getShapes();
for (Object s0 : shapes) {
addShapes(res, (Shape)s0);
}
}

public static ArrayList<Shape> getShapes(Page page) {
	ArrayList<Shape> res= new ArrayList<Shape>();

	ShapeCollection shapes= page.getShapes();
	for (Object s0 : shapes) {
		addShapes(res, (Shape)s0);			
	}
	
	return res;		
}

public static void debugShapes(Diagram diagram) throws Exception {		
	PageCollection pages= diagram.getPages();
	for (Object p0 : pages) {
		Page page= (Page)p0;
		System.out.println("Page "+page.getName()+", ID:"+page.getID());
		for (Object s0 : getShapes(page)) {
			Shape shape= (Shape)s0;
			System.out.println("shape: id:"+shape.getID()+", name:"+shape.getName()+", nameu:"+shape.getNameU());
		}
	}
}

	debugShapes(diagram);
}

Here is a screenshot of the dialog “Shape-Name” for the shape with id 63:
