How to view properties of an OLE Object

[Mike S]

I have an OLE object in a Visio file. Appears to have been created with
another drawing program, but I can't tell what. When I right click the
object, it shows Unknown Object. Is there any way to determine what type of
object it is so I can find what software to open it with?

oleobject.ForeignType and oleobject.ProgID properties might be any help.
but types that visio knows are limited as is shown in help document.

For Each obj In ActivePage.OLEObjects
Debug.Print Hex(obj.ForeignType) & " " & obj.ProgID
