position of a shape

[timtos]

Hello.

How do one get the position of a shape on a visio page?

I´ve tried to determine the bounding box of the shape and after that convert the coordinates but had no luck. I would like to have
the screen coordinates of a shape when the page has 100%. I need these coordinates because I want to place the graphics on a web
page (and don´t want to use the microsoft html-exporter) and need some coordinates for the div tag.

Thanks a lot for any ideas!

Assuming that you mean the location of the shape, just get the PinX and PinY
values from the shapesheet. You also have the ability to change the xy
coordinates of the pin to anywhere in the drawing universe if you have
access to it before your program does anything. I'm just guessing that that
is what you mean. Anybody can give more detail I suppose...
