Property Container As Shape
Member of TextFrame
The Container property returns a read-only reference to the container for a paragraph-text frame.
The following VBA example links frames of paragraph text, placing the first paragraph text inside an ellipse and the second inside a rectangle, and then displaying the index number of each frame inside a container.
Sub Test() |
Dim s As Shape |
Dim s1 As Shape |
Dim s2 As Shape |
Dim s3 As Shape |
Dim t As Text |
Dim f As TextFrame |
Dim d As Document |
Set d = CreateDocument |
Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(2, 2, 5, 5, String$(1000, "Z")) |
Set s1 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(5, 5, 8, 8) |
Set s2 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(8, 8, 10, 10) |
Set s3 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(1, 1, 4, 4) |
Set t = s.Text |
' Link the frames together |
t.Frame.LinkTo s1 |
' Place the text inside the shapes |
s2.PlaceTextInside s |
s3.PlaceTextInside s1 |
' Go through the frames |
For Each f In t.Frames |
If f.IsInsideContainer = True Then |
Select Case f.Container.Type |
Case 1 |
MsgBox "Frame " & f.Index & " is inside a rectangle" |
Case 2 |
MsgBox "Frame " & f.Index & " is inside a ellipse" |
Case Else |
MsgBox "Frame " & f.Index & " is inside a shape" |
End Select |
End If |
Next f |
End Sub |
