i still didnt get the answer.

I will explain it more. My application has embedded visio control and i'm
subscribing some events to work it my own way.
When a shape is dropped into the page. i get the image and process it for my
application.
I want user to drop only one shape at a time. He should not select multiple
shapes and drag and drop to the page.

Can we prevent multiple dropping?
Iether we have to prevent user selecting multiple shapes from the stencil or
we have to prevent when he drops it.
Any idea ?

thanks

I can think about two posibilities, but I haven't tried them myself:

1) Subscribe the SelectionChanged for the stencil window (the one with the
vss extension) and each time the event fires, check if the number of shapes
is greater than one; in that case, get only the first shape in the selection
object, deselect all shapes, and select the shape you got. -> I'm not sure if
you can subscribe event with the stencil Window. My best guess is that you
can do it since it is a Window object as well.

2) Subscribe the SelectionAdded event on the drawing Document and each time
the event fires, take the first shape on the selection object and delete the
rest.

I Hope it helps.
