| Visio Automation Reference |
Returns the Shape object that is a Selection object's primary item. Read-only.
Version Information
Version Added: Visio 2000
Syntax
expression.PrimaryItem
expression A variable that represents a Selection object.
Return Value
Shape
Remarks
In a drawing window, the primary selected item is shown with green selection handles and non-primary selected items are shown with blue selection handles. The outcome of some operations is affected by which selected item is the primary item. For example, the Align Shapes command aligns non-primary selected items with the primary selected item.
If a Selection object contains no Shape objects, or the primary Shape object is one that isn't enumerated given the Selection object's IterationMode property, the PrimaryItem property returns Nothing and raises no exception.
