Visio batch processing

[DiDi]

Dear developers,

the goal is to change a few hundred Visio drawings without user interaction.
For this I'm writing a VB application.
My problem is:
I have to delete several shapes. It is not possible to catch these shapes by
name (names varies). But these shapes are drawn in an area which is the
almost the same for all drawings.

Is there a way (with VB) to automaticaly select all shapes which are drawn
in a given area e.g. a rectagle : "select all shapes found in a window (or
crossing) with coordinates ..."

Thanks

Didi

one way might be to drop a shape on the page where you want to look and then
use the spatialneighbors method to find what is around it (remember of
course to remove the one you just dropped).
