Shape within a shape

[szeg]

How do I determine if a stencil shape is within another stencil shape
programmatically? If there are, for example, 3 circle shapes on the Visio
page, and another stencil shape is dropped onto the page, how does one detect
which one of the 3 circle shapes the 4th shape was dropped into or even if
the 4th shape is not within the 3 circle shapes boundaries. Is there a Visio
function that would do this work or must I write a macro/code to test for
this condition?

Since you haven't gotten an answer, here, you may want to try asking in a Visio
group.
