Visio Guy

I use Document_ShapeAdded even to launch some script - i want it to be launched if i draw a line.
i use the following code

Quote'Debug.Print vsoShape.GeometryCount
geom_c = vsoShape.GeometryCount
geom1_r = vsoShape.RowCount(visSectionFirstComponent)

If Not ActivePage.name = "исх. схема" Then Exit Sub
   
    If geom_c = 1 And geom1_r = 3 Then

thus code is exacuted for definite page and if shape is a line.
THe problem is if i copy-paste part of the drawing (manually or via macros)  macro is exacuted a lot of times - i don't need it.
how can i avoid this ?
maybe it's possible to enable/disable Document_ShapeAdded  macro ? or is it possible to get if shape is copy/pasted ?

Shapeadded can be fired by a lot of different scenarios, so you might want to check to see what 'scope' it is embedded in. The following might give you some ideas on what can be looked for

can't get your exmaple to work. can you post vsd example ?

actually the good news is the latest sdk (v2010) has replaced the vb6 code samples with vba samples and the above code has a version in it for shape added events.

can you post it in here as a vsd example ?
