Selecting particular Object types with VBA

Shan · #1 06-17-2019, 05:50 PM

Hi all,

I am trying to select a particular object type in Visio. I have got some code that seems to do this however when I select the object I want / Which is a cube box kind of graphic(still a shape from the standard templates), it does not work.

Any ideas to what I am doing wrong with my code?

Code:

 
Sub SelectSimilarShapesByMaster()
    If ActiveWindow.Selection.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
    Dim SelShp As Visio.Shape
    Set SelShp = ActiveWindow.Selection(1)
    If SelShp.Master Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    ActiveWindow.DeselectAll
    Dim CheckShp As Visio.Shape
    For Each CheckShp In ActivePage.Shapes
        If Not CheckShp.Master Is Nothing Then
            If CheckShp.Master = SelShp.Master Then
                ActiveWindow.Select CheckShp, visSelect
            End If
        End If
    Next CheckShp
End Sub

Thanks

Your code works fine on my machine. I don't know what is going wrong on your machine. Perhaps a reboot is in order.

Maybe you could try including a debug.print statement to find out what masters it is trying to match with

Code:

Sub SelectSimilarShapesByMaster()
  Dim SelShp As Visio.Shape, CheckShp As Visio.Shape
  If ActiveWindow.Selection.Count > 0 Then
    Set SelShp = ActiveWindow.Selection(1)
    If SelShp.Master Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    For Each CheckShp In ActivePage.Shapes
      If Not CheckShp.Master Is Nothing Then
        Debug.Print SelShp.Master, CheckShp.Master
        If CheckShp.Master = SelShp.Master Then
          ActiveWindow.Select CheckShp, visSelect
        End If
      End If
    Next CheckShp
  End If
End Sub
