Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro uses the SelectedMasters property to get the number of masters and master shortcuts selected in a stencil window and then prints the name of the stencil and the selected masters and master shortcuts in the Immediate window.

Before running this macro, make sure that at least one master or master shortcut is selected in a docked stencil in the active Visio window.

Sub SelectedMasters_Example() 
 
 Dim vsoWindow As Visio.Window 
 Dim aobjSelectedMasters() As Object 
 Dim intNumberMasters As Integer 
 Dim intNumberMasterShortCuts As Integer 
 Dim vsoMaster As Visio.Master 
 Dim vsoMasterShortcut As Visio.MasterShortcut 
 intNumberMaster = 0 
 intNumberMasterShortCuts = 0 
 
 For Each vsoWindow In ActiveWindow.Windows 
 
 If (vsoWindow.Type = visDockedStencilBuiltIn) Then 
 aobjSelectedMasters = vsoWindow.SelectedMasters 
 
 For intCounter = LBound(aobjSelectedMasters) To UBound(aobjSelectedMasters) 
 On Error Resume Next 
 Set vsoMaster = Nothing 
 Set vsoMasterShortcut = Nothing 
 Set vsoMaster = aobjSelectedMasters(intCounter) 
 
 If Not vsoMaster Is Nothing Then 
 intNumberMasters = intNumberMasters + 1 
 Else 
 Set vsoMasterShortcut = aobjSelectedMasters(intCounter) 
 
 If Not vsoMasterShortcut Is Nothing Then 
 intNumberMasterShortCuts = intNumberMasterShortCuts + 1 
 End If 
 
 End If 
 
 Next 
 
 If (intNumberMasters > 0 Or intNumberMasterShortCuts > 0) Then 
 Debug.Print "The stencil " & vsoWindow.Document.Name 
 Debug.Print "has" & Str(intNumberMasters) & " masters selected and " 
 Debug.Print Str(intNumberMasterShortCuts) & " master shortcuts selected." 
 Exit For
