Hi,

Thanks for the offer, but in the end I worked it out. The problem was just that I was using an MDI form, so I had to change the way I interacted with the document and view.

Thanks again,
Eric

They are. I've used your sample code to add a button to the interface, so I'm calling the sub as the handler for the button click.

Hi Eric,

are the shapes already added to the document when you call your method ?

Hi,

I'm working on enabling users to select all shapes that have child shapes, in an organization chart. So basically, all the manager shapes. I need to be able to iterate through the shapes and select only the parents.

I tried the code below but for some reason the doc.ActiveLayer.Children(NFilters.Shape2D) never returns any shapes. I use similar code (from your example app) to add expand/collapse decorators and it works fine. That code is not in a sub being called from a button however, it's in the load event. Would that matter?

Public Sub SelectSumTasks(ByVal doc As NDrawingDocument, ByVal view As NDrawingView)
Dim selection As NSelection = View.Selection
' select all summary task shapes so user can edit as a group
For Each shape As NShape In doc.ActiveLayer.Children(NFilters.Shape2D)
If shape.GetOutgoingShapes().Count = 0 Then
Continue For
End If

' create the decorators collection
'shape.CreateShapeElements(ShapeElementsMask.Decorators)
selection.MultiSelect(shape)

Next shape
End Sub

Thanks for any help,
Eric
