Determines whether a ShapeSheet section exists for a particular shape. Read-only.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Visio 4.0

expression.SectionExists(Section, fExistsLocally)

expression   A variable that represents a Shape object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Section Required Integer The section index.
fExistsLocally Required Integer The scope of the search.

Return Value

Remarks

If fExistsLocally is False (0), the SectionExists property returns True if the object either contains or inherits the section. If fExistsLocally is True (non-zero), the SectionExists property returns True only if the object contains the section locally; if the section is inherited, the SectionExists property returns False.

Constants that represent sections are prefixed with visSection and are declared by the Visio type library in VisSectionIndices.
