That's quite a complex shape, far more complicated than it should be.
The general way for creating the functionality you are seeing it to control the fill colour by the use of the value in a custom property. Since the entire shape does not change fill colour, this should be a grouped shape that contains at least two shapes, one is the basic plug shape and the other is the shapes that change colour.

How do I create such a custom property? I don't see a fill color option
there. For the record, I'm using Visio 2003 SP1. I was able to see how Microsoft gave the right click menu to change from male to female (Action menu), but nothing on how to change the shape itself from the white fill to black fill. I am trying to create a M/F XLR jack/plug which is 3 circular pins in a larger circle at North, East, & West. If I group the pins together (as that's what would be filled) do I do each individually, or all 3 as a group within the group of the whole shape?
