Remarks
Use the Data1 property to supply additional information about a shape. The property can contain up to 64 KB of characters. Text controls should be used with care with a string that is greater than 3,000 characters.
Setting the Data1 property is equivalent to entering information in the Data 1 box in the Special dialog box (Format menu).
Example
This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to set a shape's Data1, Data2, and Data3 fields. It prints the values of these fields in the Immediate window. You can also verify that these values have been set by opening the Special dialog box.
Public Sub Data123_Example()
Dim vsoPage As Visio.Page
Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
Set vsoPage = Documents.Add("").Pages(1)
Set vsoShape = vsoPage.DrawRectangle(3, 3, 5, 5)
'Use the Data1, Data2, and Data3 properties to set
'the shape's Data fields.
vsoShape.Data1 = "Data1_String"
vsoShape.Data2 = "Data2_String"
vsoShape.Data3 = "Data3_String"
'Use the Data1, Data2, and Data3 properties to verify
'the shape's Data field values.
Debug.Print vsoShape.Data1
Debug.Print vsoShape.Data2
Debug.Print vsoShape.Data3
End Sub
