Event when selecting shape in a group

[viorel farcas]

Hi guys

I have a question regarding the selection_changed event defined on a window.
The code fails to run when selecting a shape that is part of a group. As if
the event cannot see that i made a selection if that selected shape is in a
group.
How can i overcome this?

Thanks

as I remember, when you do the select of an object that is a group the
components aren't available until you do some further manipulation
(basically a group is a wrapper around the individual elements). You
probably need to first a.) recognize it is a group object, and b.) then
recurse through the group to the object you want to work with.

You should get the SelectionChanged event regardless of the selection being
related to a group or not. However, to retrieve the selected shape, you
must set the IterationMode property on the Selection. This tells Visio how
you want the selection information to be exposed. See the help topic for
more details.

Thanks for the response. It really helped.
