| Shape |
A Shape object. If you assign a shape located in a worksheet other than the current worksheet, an exception is raised.

All shapes in a worksheet are contained in the ShapeCollection, accessible via the Worksheet.Shapes property. Use the SelectedShape property to specify a shape selected in the worksheet. Images embedded in a worksheet expose the Picture interface which descends from the Shape. So, to specify a picture selected in the worksheet, you can use the Worksheet.SelectedPicture property as well as SelectedShape.
You can also select multiple shapes in the worksheet simultaneously. To get or set a list of shapes selected in the worksheet, use the Worksheet.GetSelectedShapes or Worksheet.SetSelectedShapes method.
The SelectedPicture , SelectedShape , GetSelectedShapes and SetSelectedShapes members of the SpreadsheetControl or SpreadsheetControl object allow you to select shapes in the worksheet that is currently active in the control.
