This, however, needs deferred loading of the notebook file and applies the document password using the OneSaveOptions class. It also enhances the functionality of working with Table cells by providing the capability to set background color of a table’s cell. The BackgroundColor property of the TableCell class can be used to set the color of a table cell. This month’s release also provides the capability to load and save notebook to stream. This has been implemented by providing new constructor of Notebook class and overloaded Save method. The child documents of the notebook also need to be saved/loaded from child object’s stream and populated in Document class. The list of new and enhanced features added in this release are given below

• Support for creation of password protected MS OneNote documents.
• Provide support of password protected documents (reading and writing) as a part of .onetoc2 notebook.

Modify Properties of ActiveX Control & Insert Text Shape in Visio Drawing inside Java Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for Java 16.11.0. This new version of the API has come with improved performance along with new features. It allows developers to insert a text shape anywhere in the Visio drawing. Developers can also retrieve ActiveX controls, like command button, combobox, checkbox, listbox, textbox, spin button, radio button, label, image, toggle button and scrollbar from a Visio drawing, and then change their properties. Developers would also notice an improvement in converting VSD diagrams to PDFs. There is no way to add text directly in the Visio drawing. Users can add text through creating the text shapes like on the Home tab, under Tools group, click “A Text” button, and then draw in the Visio drawing. Developers can add this feature in their project applications using Aspose.Diagram API. From now onward, they may not add any alternative shapes from the stencil files. The last two API versions (6.8.0 and 16.10.0) have support of adding an ActiveX control in the Visio drawing. Developers were not able to retrieve an ActiveX control from an existing Visio drawing to modify it. Using this new API version, they can retrieve a Visio shape as usual like in the earlier versions, additionally can retrieve an ActiveX control from a Visio shape object, and then modify its properties. This release includes several enhanced features and bug fixes as listed below

• Performance issue with exporting a VSD to PDF.
• Can't set the width and height of an ActiveX button in the VSDM.
• VSD to VDX conversion, an invalid resultant file is created.
• VSDX to PDF export - Solid lines of shapes are converted to dashed lines.
• A black strip comes in place of the text on converting a VSD page to PNG.
• A black stripe appears in place of the top right corner text on converting a VSD page to PNG.

Custom Subtotal Labels & Other Label Creation for Pie Chart in Spreadsheets inside Java Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for Java 16.11.0. It has added the support for the creation of custom subtotal labels allowing the application developers to customize the labels according to the region or personal preferences. In order to provide this feature, the latest version of the Aspose.Cells for Java has exposed the GlobalizationSettings class offering the following 2 methods which can be overridden in a custom class to get desired labels for the Subtotals.

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for Java 16.10.0. This release allows to automatically change the display text of Visio drawing from Data1, Data2 and Data3 properties. Developers can even formulate a shape text from another shape’s properties. Developers can also create a master shape from scratch or edit any existing master shape in the Visio drawings. They can set all basic properties and icon of the master shape. Using Aspose.Diagram API, developers may set a shape’s Data1, Data2, and Data3 properties. On populating a shape’s text from these properties, Aspose.Diagram API was not automatically modifying the text of the various shapes in Visio drawing. Although, it was updating property values in the Shapesheet. It has enhanced this feature similar to the behavior of Microsoft Office Visio. It now automatically modifies the text of shape even if users populate the text of a shape from another shape’s properties. Users can manually drag and drop a shape from stencil to a Visio page. During this process, Microsoft Office Visio copies the master shape into the local document stencil before the first instance is positioned on the page. The actual shape that is seen in the page inherits most of its attributes from its master. Using Aspose.Diagram API, developers can now manage to create a master shape from scratch. They might also edit an existing master shape. Aspose team has auto port Aspose.Diagram for .NET to Java to give developers perfectly same features on both platforms, so this version incorporates the bug fixes and enhancements from its equivalent .NET version. This release includes several enhanced features and bug fixes as listed below

• Output VSDX - Can't modify the text of shape on changing Data1, Data2, and Data3 properties.
• DOutput PDF - Can't modify the text of shape on changing Data1, Data2, and Data3 properties.
• Output PDF - Can't modify the text of shape from another shape text.
• VSD to PDF conversion, shapes are missing.
• VSD to PDF conversion, the text of the shape appears not bold.
• Shape.GluedShapes method call is not returning all shape ids.
