Microsoft Visio Developer Reference

Selection property

       

Returns a Selection object that represents what is presently selected in the window.

Version added

2.0

Syntax

objRet = object.Selection

objRet

A Selection object.

object

Required. An expression that returns a Window object.

Remarks

The Selection object is independent of the selection in the window, which can subsequently change as a result of user actions.

A Selection object is a set of shapes in a common context on which you can perform actions. A Selection object is analogous to more than selected shapes in a drawing window. Once you retrieve a Selection object, you can change the set of shapes the object represents using the Select method.
