Master.PageSheet Property

  • Article
Visio Automation Reference

Returns the page sheet (an object that represents the ShapeSheet spreadsheet) of a master. Read-only.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Visio 4.0

Syntax

expression.PageSheet

expression   A variable that represents a Master object.

Return Value
Shape

Remarks

Every master contains a tree of Shape objects. Constants representing shape types are prefixed with visType and are declared by the Visio type library in VisShapeTypes.

In the tree of shapes of a master, there is exactly one shape of type visTypePage. This shape is always the root shape in the tree, and the PageSheet property returns this shape.

The page sheet contains important settings for the master such as its size and scale. It also contains the Layers section that defines the layers for that master.

Assuming that there is at least one shape on the page, you can use the following macro to get a master's page shape:

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub MasterPageSheet_Example()

Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
Dim vsoShapes As Visio.Shapes
Dim vsoMaster As Visio.Master
Set vsoMaster = ActiveDocument.Masters.Item(1)
Set vsoShapes = vsoMaster.Shapes
Set vsoShape = vsoShapes("ThePage")



End Sub
