Shape.Next property

Returns the next shape

Syntax:

Property Get Next(Optional ByVal Level As cdrShapeLevel = cdrLevelPage, Optional ByVal EnterGroups As Boolean = false, Optional ByVal Loop As Boolean = true) As Shape

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
Level	cdrShapeLevel	Specifies whether to limit the scope to the current group, layer, page, or document.
EnterGroups	Boolean	Specifies how to handle grouped shapes. If this value is set to False, groups are treated as separate shapes, ignoring any shapes within the group. If it is set to True, group shapes are still returned.
Loop	Boolean	Specifies how to loop during the search. If this value is set to True and the last shape in the scope is reached, the first shape of the group, layer, or document is returned. Otherwise, Nothing is returned.

Remarks:

The Next property returns the next shape in a document.

Examples:

The following VBA example selects the next shape on a current layer, entering groups as necessary.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Set s = ActiveShape
  If s Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "Nothing is selected."
  Else
    s.Next(cdrLevelLayer, True, True).CreateSelection
  End If
End Sub
