Referencing objects

[pallas]

Hi, how does visio reference its objects?
I have a page of flowchart shapes and wish to write a macro that re-colour
some of them...so I need to know the best way to identify them in VBA.

Cheers

if you are at v2003 you might use the macro create function to change one of
the boxes to a different color and then examine the macro. Another scenario
would be to take advantage of an existing macro already in visio. Use the
help facility and search on "color by values".
