Referencing shapes inside a group

[nyar]

Using C, how would you reference a shape inside of a group?

I currently use the following code to iterate through the shapes, but I can't figure out how to iterate through the subshapes.

// temp vars
long nShapeCount = 0;
long nShapeIndex = 0;

// get shape count
hr = pShapes->Count(&nShapeCount);

// index is 1 to ShapeCount in Visio
for(nShapeIndex = 1; nShapeIndex <= nShapeCount; nShapeIndex++)
{
// get shape
hr = pShapes->Item(VVariant(nShapeIndex), vsCurrentShape);

//I WANT TO ITERATE THROUGH vsCurrentShapes GROUP SHAPES HERE!
}

Any information is appreciated.

The shape object has a shapes property that returns a shapes collection.
Walking all the sub-shapes in a shape is usually done recursively.
There is a "Group-sub Shape Count" sample in the Visio 2003 SDK code
librarian database under the shapes node. All code librarian samples are
in C#, VB.net and VB.
