Shapes.Item method (Project)

Syntax

expression.Item (Index)

expression A variable that represents a Shapes object.

Index	Required	Variant

Return value

Shape

The shape that is specified by the Index parameter.

Remarks

The Item method acts like the default Shapes.Value property. For example, create a report namedTable Tests that contains a table. The following statement in the Immediate window of the VBE prints the name of the table.

? ActiveProject.Reports("Table Tests").Shapes.Item(1).Name

If you leave off the Item method, the following statement has the same output, but uses the default Value property to get the Shape object.

? ActiveProject.Reports("Table Tests").Shapes(1).Name

The following statement is the same as the previous:

? ActiveProject.Reports("Table Tests").Shapes.Value(1).Name
