Solved: Active Object

[MWE]

Is there a way to know programatically what shape or group of shapes are presently active? Poking around the VBA Object Browser, I did not find anything like "ActiveShape" nor did I find a shape property like "Active" or similar.

Try this.

[vba]
Dim Shp As Variant

On Error Resume Next
For Each Shp In Selection
MsgBox Shp.Name
Next
On Error GoTo 0
[/vba]
