I have a shape. It of course has an ID#. Say 15
In its shape sheet, in a user defined cell I want to capture its ID#.
Is there a way to do that?
Not looking to merely read it in the shape sheet's header [unless that header's text can be captured in the user defined cell].
Not looking to merely read it via Developer/Shape Name/ID: [Unless the value of ID: can be captured in the user defined cell].
Would expect that the user defined cell would be something like:
User-Defined Cells            Value              Prompt
        _______________________________________
        | User.ShapeID     |15            | ShapeID()         |
        _______________________________________
where ShapeID() [which of course doesn't work] is the formula in the Value cell.

Thanks Paul.
I swear I tried that and it didn't work.
Probably when I entered "ID()" I deleted the "="!
