The following VBA example creates 100 shapes and stores their IDs in the active layer for future reference.

Sub CreateAndStoreShapes()
  Dim i As Long
  Dim x As Double, y As Double, r As Double
  Dim MaxX As Double, MaxY As Double, MaxR As Double
  Dim s As Shape, Num As Long
  MaxX = ActivePage.SizeWidth
  MaxY = ActivePage.SizeHeight
  MaxR = 1
  Num = 100
  ActiveLayer.Properties("ShapeArray", 0) = Num ' Store the total number of shapes
  For i = 1 To Num
    x = Rnd() * MaxX
    y = Rnd() * MaxY
    r = Rnd() * MaxR
    Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(x, y, r)
    s.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign Rnd() * 256, Rnd() * 256, Rnd() * 256
    ActiveLayer.Properties("ShapeArray", i) = s.StaticID ' Store the current shape's ID number
  Next i
End Sub
