Remarks

The index of a graphic item is originally determined by the order in which the item was added to the collection. The GraphicItems collection is 1-based.

The index order of graphic items affects the stacking order for multiple grpahic item callouts assigned to the same location. In addition, it determiones which graphic item takes precedence in control over a cell in the Microsoft Office Visio ShapeSheet spreadsheet when conflicting conditions set by multiple graphic items are all true .

Note
Before you can set any property of a graphic item, you must use the Master.Open method to open a copy of the data graphic master that contains the graphic item for editing. When you are finished setting properties, use the Master.Close method to commit changes.
