how to get an activated object id

[#1]

Hi ,

I have a set of charts and a button.

I need to get the object Id of the activated chart and use it in a macro to maximise the activated chart.

I am trying to run the macro on button click to enlarge the chart.

First i ll try to select a chart ,afer that if i click on the button the selected chart should be maximised.

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Srihari

Hi Srihari,

1. Create a variable and set it with value 1

2. Use the variable in the conditional show of a chart: Variable_name = 1

3 Create a macro to set the value of the variable to 1 or 0
using activedocument.variables("Variable_name").setcontent

4. Use a button action to call the macro.

Does this hold good for multiple charts. at anypoint of time I need to enlarge a single chart.

Hi Shihari,

Yes you can use the variable within multiple charts as conditional show or just for one chart.

The only thing is you need to define is wich charts you want to open with a specific button, by using the conditional show in one or more charts.

So you probably and up using multiple buttons, one for each collection of charts or tables.

Hi ,

I have attached a sample application.

Can you try to implement the logic you have suggested in this sample app.

Thanks,

Srihari,

Pls Go through API Guide. You will get it in different flavours.

There are lots of features covered in API.

Hi Srihari,

I included the modified sample.
If you want to view both charts for alignment or so you need to set the value of both variables to 1.
