what is the event for grouping shapes?

[david]

all i found was ConvertToGroupCanceled or UngroupCanceled which are not what i needed.

i want to do some actions whenever i group shapes.  anyone knows how?

thanks

QueryCancelGroup.

Could also probably check ShapeAdded, but that would be more work.

[david]

i didn't find that event.

i found only QueryCancelUngroup.

[david]

the event ShapeAdded really worked. but how can i distinguish between the event of moving a shape from the stencil to the frame and the event of grouping shapes?  they're both included in ShapeAdded.

There is a QueryCancelGroup (visEvtCodeQueryCancelSelGroup) with value &H038D and
QueryCancelConvertToGroup (visEvtCodeQueryCancelConvertToGroup) with value &H038B

but i searched it in Object Browser in visio and didn't find it.

i checked in google and it's said there that QueryCancelGroup belongs to visio 2007.  i have visio 2003 maybe that is why i can't find it?

[Paul Herber]

That will be the reason!

[david]

so how can i do it in visio 2003?

[david]

i don't understand why there's no such event (QueryCancelGroup) in visio 2003.
i really need that event and i can't use Document_ShapeAdded because its parameter is of type Shape and i need to work on Selection (QueryCancelGroup's parameter) and not Shape.

all i need is to do some actions whever i create a group.  there must be a way in visio 2003.

anyone has any suggestion what to do? (except for converting to visio 2007 - this is not an option).
