Hmmm . . . where to put this question? This is not automation, per se, but here goes . . .I'm placing the Visio ActiveX control on a VFP form. I'm able to click the drawing and get information about the object. For instance, the following code is a simple way to get at the object and display information about it:

*** SelectionChanged Method
*** ActiveX Control Event ***
LPARAMETERS toWindow

for each oItem in toWindow.Selection
   wait window alltrim(oItem.Name) + " Data1 = " +;
      alltrim(oItem.Data1) timeout 1
endfor

However, if I put on object in another object (for instance, using the Electronics template I can place a "board" on the drawing and then place other objects in that), I can select that inner object, but the code above will not work. I'm still figuring out the capabilities of the control and the object model for Visio. There's probably another way to get at the contained object. Anyone know what that might be?

Thanks,
