Save selected shapes as jpg

[Markus Breugst]

Dear all,

I would like to save the currently selected shapes of one drawing page as
JPG via automation (C#).

I am using the method
visioDocument.Pages[1].Export("File.jpg");

Problem: This method saves the entire(!) page content and not only the
currently selected shapes.

If I select some shapes and manually(!) invoke the Visio menu item "file ->
save as" and select JPG as file format, then Visio saves just the selected
shapes. And that's exactly what I want to achieve via automation.

Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks in advance & best regards,
Markus
