Shape.Paths property (Visio)
Returns a Paths collection that reports the coordinates of a shape's paths in the coordinate system of the shape's parent. Read-only.
Syntax
expression. Paths
expression A variable that represents a Shape object.
Return value
Paths
Example
This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro places a shape on the page, retrieves its Paths collection, and then uses the Points property of the Path object to return an array of points that defines a polyline approximating the Path object.
Public Sub Paths_Example()
Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
Dim adblXYPoints() As Double
Dim strPointsList As String
Dim intOuterLoopCounter As Integer
Dim intInnerLoopCounter As Integer
Set vsoShape = ActivePage.DrawOval(1, 1, 4, 4)
For intOuterLoopCounter = 1 To vsoShape.Paths.Count
vsoShape.Paths(intOuterLoopCounter).Points 1#, adblXYPoints
For intInnerLoopCounter = LBound(adblXYPoints) To UBound(adblXYPoints)
strPointsList = strPointsList & adblXYPoints(intInnerLoopCounter) & Chr(10)
Next intInnerLoopCounter
Next intOuterLoopCounter
Debug.Print strPointsList
End Sub
