This example selects the first shape in the canvas, and if the selected shape is a child shape, fills the shape with the specified color. This example assumes that the first shape in the active presentation is a drawing canvas that contains multiple shapes.
Sub FillChildShape()
'Select the first shape in the drawing canvas
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1).CanvasItems(1).Select
'Fill selected shape if it is a child shape
With ActiveWindow.Selection
If .ShapeRange.Child = msoTrue Then
.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(Red:=100, Green:=0, Blue:=200)
Else
MsgBox "This shape is not a child shape."
End If
End With
