SubPaths.Item

Property Item(Index As Long) As SubPath

Member of SubPaths

The Item property returns the specified subpath.

The Item property is the default property and its reference can be omitted when referencing items in the collection. For example, SubPaths.Item(2) is the same as SubPaths(2) — they both reference the second subpath in the SubPaths collection.

The Item property returns a read-only value.


Parameters	Description
Index	Represents a preset placeholder for each object in a SubPaths collection, uniquely identifying each member of the collection

The following code example randomly moves each subpath in the selected curve:

Sub Test() 
 Dim spath As SubPath 
 Dim s As Shape 
 Dim i As Long 
 Set s = ActiveShape 
 For i = 1 To s.Curve.Subpaths.Count 
  Set spath = s.Curve.Subpaths(i) 
  spath.Move Rnd() * 2 - 1, Rnd() * 2 - 1 
 Next i 
End Sub

The following code example performs the same procedure as the previous example. However, instead of using a For Next command, it uses the For Each command in Visual Basic to iterate through all subpaths in the shape.

Sub Test() 
 Dim spath As SubPath 
 For Each spath In ActiveShape.Curve.Subpaths 
  spath.Move Rnd() * 2 - 1, Rnd() * 2 - 1 
 Next spath 
End Sub
