Viewer.ShapeName property (Visio Viewer)

Article
09/13/2021

Gets the name of the shape at the specified index in the collection of shapes in the drawing that is open in Microsoft Visio Viewer. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.ShapeName (ShapeIndex)

expression An expression that returns a Viewer object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
ShapeIndex	Required	Long	The index of the shape in the collection of shapes.

Return value

String

Remarks

The collection of shapes is one-based, so the index of the first shape in the collection is 1. If there are no shapes in the drawing, or if you pass the index of a nonexistent shape, the ShapeName property returns nothing.

The ShapeName property returns the local name of the shape, not its universal name.

Example

The following code gets the names of all the shapes in the drawing that is open in Visio Viewer.

Dim intCounter As Integer

    For intCounter = 1 To Viewer1.ShapeCount

    Debug.Print Viewer1.ShapeName(intCounter)

Next intCounter
