Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the GetLinkedDataRow method to get the ID of the data row in the specified data recordset linked to the shape.

Before running this macro, add at least one data recordset to the DataRecordsets collection of the document. The macro drops a shape onto the page, links the shape to a data row in the data recordset most recently added to the collection, gets the ID of the row, and then prints the ID of the row in the Immediate window.

Public Sub GetLinkedDataRow_Example() 
 
    Dim vsoDataRecordset As Visio.DataRecordset 
    Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape 
    Dim intCount As Integer 
    Dim lngRowID As Long 
     
    intCount = Visio.ActiveDocument.DataRecordsets.Count 
    Set vsoDataRecordset = Visio.ActiveDocument.DataRecordsets(intCount) 
     
    Set vsoShape = ActivePage.DrawRectangle(2, 2, 4, 4) 
         
    vsoShape.LinkToData vsoDataRecordset.ID, 1, True 
            
    lngRowID = vsoShape.GetLinkedDataRow(vsoDataRecordset.ID) 
    Debug.Print lngRowID 
         
End Sub
