01/19/2022

Returns an object from a collection. Read-only.

Syntax

expression. ItemU( _NameUIDOrIndex_ )

expression A variable that represents a Masters object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
NameOrIndex	Required	Variant	Contains the universal name, unique ID, or index of the object to retrieve.

Return value

Master

Remarks

You can retrieve an object in an Addons, Hyperlinks, Layers, Masters, MasterShortcuts, Pages, Shapes, or Styles collection by passing the object's name as a string expression in a Variant.

If you retrieve a Shape object by name, the ItemU property searches all shapes in the Shapes collection's containing page or containing master, in addition to the collection's containing shape. Therefore, the Shape object returned by the ItemU property can be a shape that is not in the Shapes collection.

You can also pass the unique ID string of a Master or Shape object to the ItemU property. For example:

objRet = vsoShapes.ItemU("{2287DC42-B167-11CE-88E9-0020AFDDD917}")

If such a string is passed to the ItemU property of a Shapes collection, all the shapes contained in the collection are searched. Shapes within the group shapes in the containing shape are not searched.

To search all shapes in the collection, plus the shapes inside groups and the containing shape of the collection, prefix the unique ID string with an asterisk (*). For example:

objRet = vsoShapes.ItemU("*{2287DC42-B167-11CE-88E9-0020AFDDD917}")

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic macro shows how to use the ItemU property of the Pages collection to get the Shapes collection. It then uses the ItemU property of the Shapes collection to print the universal names of all shapes on Page-1 in the Immediate window.

To run this macro, make sure the active document has shapes on Page-1.

 
Public Sub ItemU_Example() 
  
    Dim intCounter As Integer 
    Dim intShapeCount As Integer 
    Dim vsoShapes As Visio.Shapes  
 
    Set vsoShapes = ActiveDocument.Pages.ItemU(1).Shapes  
 
    Debug.Print "Shapes in Document: "; ActiveDocument.Name  
    Debug.Print "          on  Page: "; ActiveDocument.Pages.ItemU(1).Name  
 
    intShapeCount = vsoShapes.Count  
 
    If intShapeCount > 0 Then 
 
        For intCounter = 1 To intShapeCount  
            Debug.Print " "; vsoShapes.ItemU(intCounter).Name  
        Next intCounter 
  
    Else 
 
        Debug.Print " No Shapes On Page" 
  
    End If   
 
End Sub
