Shape.Properties property

Gives access to the shape's invdividual properties

Syntax:

Property Get Properties() As Properties

Remarks:

The Properties property returns a Properties collection, which allows you to specify and manipulate custom data associated with a given shape. Data stored using the Properties collection is not accessible to the CorelDRAW user and can be retrieved only programmatically. You can use this property as an advanced way of storing custom data with a shape.

See also the Shape.ObjectData property.

Examples:

The following VBA example stores all uniform fill colors with each shape so that each fill can be restored later.

Sub StoreFills()
  Dim s As Shape
  Dim c(0 To 7) As Long, i As Long
  For Each s In ActivePage.Shapes
    If s.Fill.Type = cdrUniformFill Then
      s.Fill.UniformColor.CorelScriptGetComponent c(0), c(1), c(2), c(3), c(4), c(5), c(6), c(7)
      For i = 0 To 7
        s.Properties("StoredFillColor", i) = c(i)
      Next i
    End If
  Next s
End Sub
