Selection.IterationMode property (Visio)

  • Article

Determines whether a Selection object reports subselected shapes and groups in which a shape is selected. Read/write.

Syntax

expression. IterationMode

expression A variable that represents a Selection object.

Return value

Long

Remarks

The items in a Selection object are a subset of the descendants of the Selection object's containing shape.

  • A top-level shape in a Selection object is an immediate child of the selection's containing shape.

  • A subselected shape in a Selection object is not an immediate child of the selection's containing shape.

  • A superselected shape in a Selection object has at least one immediate child that is subselected.

If a shape is subselected, each of its ancestors—except the containing shape itself—is superselected.

The value of the IterationMode property is a combination of the following values.

Constant Value Description
visSelModeSkipSuper &H0100 Selection does not report superselected shapes.
visSelModeOnlySuper &H0200 Selection only reports superselected shapes.
visSelModeSkipSub &H0400 Selection does not report subselected shapes.
visSelModeOnlySub &H0800 Selection only reports subselected shapes.

When a Selection object is created, its initial iteration mode is visSelModeSkipSub + visSelModeSkipSuper. It reports neither subselected nor superselected shapes and behaves identically to Selection objects in versions of Microsoft Visio prior to Visio 2000.

You can determine whether an individual item in a Selection object is a subselected or superselected item by using the ItemStatus property.
