Class ShapeRange (Excel VBA)
The class ShapeRange represents a shape range, which is a set of shapes on a document.
The classes ChartObject, OLEObject and Shape. give access to class ShapeRange
Dim sre as ShapeRange
Set sre = Application.ActiveChart.OLEObjects
Methods
Align - Aligns the shapes in the specified range of shapes.
Apply - expression.Apply
Delete - Deletes the object.
Distribute - Horizontally or vertically distributes the shapes in the specified range of shapes.
Duplicate - Duplicates the object and returns a reference to the new copy.
Flip - Flips the specified shape around its horizontal or vertical axis.
Group - Groups the shapes in the specified range.
IncrementLeft - Moves the specified shape horizontally by the specified number of points.
IncrementRotation - Changes the rotation of the specified shape around the z-axis by the specified number of degrees. Use the Rotation property to set the absolute rotation of the shape.
IncrementTop - Moves the specified shape vertically by the specified number of points.
Item - Returns a single object from a collection.
PickUp - Copies the formatting of the specified shape. Use the Apply method to apply the copied formatting to another shape.
Regroup - Regroups the group that the specified shape range belonged to previously. Returns the regrouped shapes as a single Shape object.
RerouteConnections - This method reroutes all connectors attached to the specified shape; if the specified shape is a connector, it's rerouted.
ScaleHeight - Scales the height of the shape by a specified factor. For pictures and OLE objects, you can indicate whether you want to scale the shape relative to the original or the current size. Shapes other than pictures and OLE objects are always scaled relative to their current height.
ScaleWidth - Scales the width of the shape by a specified factor. For pictures and OLE objects, you can indicate whether you want to scale the shape relative to the original or the current size. Shapes other than pictures and OLE objects are always scaled relative to their current width.
Select - Selects the object.
SetShapesDefaultProperties - Makes the formatting of the specified shape the default formatting for the shape.
Ungroup - Ungroups any grouped shapes in the specified shape or range of shapes. Disassembles pictures and OLE objects within the specified shape or range of shapes.
ZOrder - Moves the specified shape in front of or behind other shapes in the collection (that is, changes the shape's position in the z-order).
Properties

Height returns or sets a Single value that represents the height, in points, of the object.
HorizontalFlip true if the specified shape is flipped around the horizontal axis.
ID returns a Long value that represents the type for the specified object.
Left returns or sets a Single value that represents the distance, in points, from the left edge of the object to the left edge of column A (on a worksheet) or the left edge of the chart area (on a chart).
Line returns a LineFormat object that contains line formatting properties for the specified shape. (For a line, the LineFormat object represents the line itself; for a shape with a border, the LineFormat object represents the border).
LockAspectRatio true if the specified shape retains its original proportions when you resize it. False if you can change the height and width of the shape independently of one another when you resize it.
