Hi Pradeep,

Try something like this:

using Visio = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio;

....

Visio.Selection sel = visctrl.Window.Selection;

Visio.Shape visShpSelected;
if(sel.Count > 0)
{
visShpSelected = sel.Selection[1]
}

Hope this helps,

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply.
I am unable to import or Use the reference
"using Visio = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio"
even though I have added a reference of "Microsoft Visio 11.0 Type Library"
to my project.
Please let me know the pre-requisites for this.

Thanks,
Pradeep
