Remarks
You can pass only a single category for the Category parameter. Passing a semicolon-delimited list of categories produces an Invalid Parameter error.
Categories are user-defined strings that you can use to categorize shapes and thereby to restrict membership in a container. You can define categories in the User.msvShapeCategories cell in the ShapeSheet for a shape. You can define multiple categories for a shape by separating those categories with semi-colons.
