Highlighting a shape...how?

[Mac]

I have a grouped shape, parts of which are connected to other objects; the
scenario - click (select) the grouped shape, run a macro code which looks for
the shapes connected to it and "highlights" them all. I have no problems with
the code and I get as far as the 'remote' (connected) shapes, the problem is
- how do I highlight (visibly distinguished like in selection) them? At first
I thought about the 'shape.CreateSelection' method but it does not work and
the compiler keeps giving me the 'invalid parameter' error; the only example
I found calls this method on the Page object, however the documentation says
Shape overrides i tas well. I do not understand this, maybe there is a better
way to do this? Any sample code?

Hello Mac,

You need to use the Select method of the active window object. Check out
this link on the subject:

Don't forget to deselect everything in the window first before creating
you're new selection.

Best regards

John

Select method might be one you wish.
.......
ActiveWindow.select YourShape1, visSelect
....
ActiveWindow.select YourShape2, visSelect
......
Set yourSelection = ActiveWindow.Selection
