Selection.IterationMode property (Visio)
Determines whether a Selection object reports subselected shapes and groups in which a shape is selected. Read/write.
Syntax
expression. IterationMode
expression A variable that represents a Selection object.
Return value
Long
Remarks
The items in a Selection object are a subset of the descendants of the Selection object's containing shape.
A top-level shape in a Selection object is an immediate child of the selection's containing shape.
A subselected shape in a Selection object is not an immediate child of the selection's containing shape.
A superselected shape in a Selection object has at least one immediate child that is subselected.
If a shape is subselected, each of its ancestors—except the containing shape itself—is superselected.
The value of the IterationMode property is a combination of the following values.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| visSelModeSkipSuper | &H0100 | Selection does not report superselected shapes. |
| visSelModeOnlySuper | &H0200 | Selection only reports superselected shapes. |
| visSelModeSkipSub | &H0400 | Selection does not report subselected shapes. |
| visSelModeOnlySub | &H0800 | Selection only reports subselected shapes. |
When a Selection object is created, its initial iteration mode is visSelModeSkipSub + visSelModeSkipSuper. It reports neither subselected nor superselected shapes and behaves identically to Selection objects in versions of Microsoft Visio prior to Visio 2000.
You can determine whether an individual item in a Selection object is a subselected or superselected item by using the ItemStatus property.
