How do I get Shape data from an exisisting shape to a shape I conn

Visio 2007

Hi All,

How do I get the value of a Shape data propety from an existing shape that I
connect/glue another shape to?

I have a Computer Rack on a page with shape data Prop.Rack_Number which
stores the rack number.

I glue/connect a new shape to that rack how do I pass the Rack_Number to
that shape?

Thanks in advance.

One of the clue might be a "About Cell References " at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa223379(office.11).aspx
and ConnectionAdded events.
Any example might be found in Help or in Visio SDK.

Many Thanks,

The problem I have is that I won't know the name of the object I am
connecting to. However you did help me find the "ThePage!" reference I need
that as well I guess I should have known that but I am quite new to this side
of Visio.

Connect object might be a tool to know the connected shape.
But it might be hard for not only a new person but also an old person.
