    Add shape/textbox in a group dynamically using vba in powerpoint

    Sir, need some help from this forum.


    I have a group(say groupLast1) which consist of some textboxes(say textBox1,textBox2,textBox3) & some shapes(say rectangleTop1, rectangleBottom1).
    Now I want to add textbox(say textBoxNew1 )in this group ie in groupLast1 dynamically.
    But I cannot configure the grouping part using array.


    What I did:


    groupLast1.Ungroup
    ------- fetching shape name from group -------


    ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.(groupLast1)
    For x = 1 To GroupItemes.Count


    "shapeName" & x = GroupItemes(x).Name


    Next x
    -------- grouping part------------------


    newGshp = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.Range(Array("textBoxNew1", ....................)).Group


    newGshp.Name = groupLast1


    So how to configure the array part(adding fetch name automatically ie "shapeName" & x) so that every time I add some shape/textbox it will automatically configure in group
