How can I get stencil document name by the shape object?

[Pedro Silva]

When I drag and drop a Shape I listen to such event. How can I get the
document name of the stencil which I had drag my shape?

I think u can get shape's Master and from Master u can get the Stencil
document object.
Visio.Document ovDoc = ovShape.Master.Document;
ovDoc.Name or ovDoc.FullName

There is no way to know what document a shape originated from. Technically
all shapes originate from the local document. When you drag a shape from a
stencil into the document, Visio first copies the shape master to the local
document. Then it creates an instance of that master on the page.

You can use the Shape.Master property to find out what master an instance
comes from, but this is a reference to the master in the local document.
