Title: Prevent individual shapes from selection but still be able to select the group
Post by: hill041 on August 21, 2018, 09:50:20 AM

Hi,

I'm creating a visio template and stencil for an add in. I have a group of shapes that i intend to all be grouped. When the user double clicks the group I want the group shape data list to pop up listing a few bits of data that the shape will then individually show as text.

I've done all of the shapesheet configuration to get this working (i love the shapesheet!) however when the user double clicks the group it opens the individual's shape data and not the group's list!

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Select the group shape, then on the ribbon -
Developer -> Behavior
and look at the Group behavior settings.
You probably want Group First or Group Only in the Selection setting.
