GroupShapes Collection Object

  • Article
Word Developer Reference

Represents the individual shapes within a grouped shape. Each shape contained within a group of shapes is represented by a Shape object.

Remarks

Use the GroupItems property to return the GroupShapes collection. Use GroupItems(Index), where Index is the number of the individual shape within the grouped shape, to return a single shape from the GroupShapes collection. The following example adds three triangles to the active document, groups them, sets a color for the entire group, and then changes the color for the second triangle only.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  With ActiveDocument.Shapes
    .AddShape(msoShapeIsoscelesTriangle, _
        10, 10, 100, 100).Name = "shpOne"
    .AddShape(msoShapeIsoscelesTriangle, _
        150, 10, 100, 100).Name = "shpTwo"
    .AddShape(msoShapeIsoscelesTriangle, _
        300, 10, 100, 100).Name = "shpThree"
    With .Range(Array("shpOne", "shpTwo", "shpThree")).Group
        .Fill.PresetTextured msoTextureBlueTissuePaper
        .GroupItems(2).Fill.PresetTextured msoTextureGreenMarble
    End With
End With
