Public Sub Shape_Example()
Dim vsoRectangle As Visio.Shape
Dim vsoOval As Visio.Shape
Dim vsoShapeFromCell As Visio.Shape
Dim vsoShapeFromCharacters As Visio.Shape
Dim vsoCell As Visio.Cell
Dim vsoCharacters As Visio.Characters
'Create 2 different shapes and add different text to each shape.
Set vsoRectangle = ActivePage.DrawRectangle(2, 3, 5, 4)
Set vsoOval = ActivePage.DrawOval(2, 5, 5, 7)
vsoRectangle.Text = "Rectangle Shape"
vsoOval.Text = "Oval Shape"
'Get a Cell object from the first shape.
Set vsoCell = vsoRectangle.Cells("Width")
'Get a Characters object from the second shape.
Set vsoCharacters = vsoOval.Characters
'Use the Shape property to get the Shape object.
Set vsoShapeFromCell = vsoCell.Shape
Set vsoShapeFromCharacters = vsoCharacters.Shape
'Use each shape's text to verify the proper Shape
'object was returned.
Debug.Print vsoShapeFromCell.Text
Debug.Print vsoShapeFromCharacters.Text
End Sub
