shape.UniqueID(1) is good,
but return value is string ,
how to change to object ?

[Nikolay]

Hmm. What do you mean "change to object"? Get shape back by that unique string id? It's in the docs (see the link above).

Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
Set vsoShape = Visio.ActivePage.Shapes.Item("{2287DC42-B167-11CE-88E9-0020AFDDD917}")

but activepage only is not i wanted,
i want like this
Set vsoShape = thisdocument  all shapes Item("{2287DC42-B167-11CE-88E9-0020AFDDD917}")
is it possible?

No that's not possible, you will have to check all your documents pages.
