Ungroups any grouped shapes in the specified shape or range of shapes. Disassembles pictures and OLE objects within the specified shape or range of shapes. Returns the ungrouped shapes as a single ShapeRange object.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.dll)

'Usage

Dim returnValue As ShapeRange
returnValue = instance.Ungroup()
ShapeRange Ungroup()

Remarks
Because a group of shapes is treated as a single object, grouping and ungrouping shapes changes the number of items in the Shapes collection and changes the index numbers of items that come after the affected items in the collection.
