Custom shapes with special behaviour

Hi WapperDude,
I like your solution. I will check it out a bit more and come back with a
more complete answer as soon as I can.
Thanks.

Just for the sake of having an optional way to do this, it is possible to do
it without grouping. The steps are basically the same as John indicated,
except you don't need to change the re-size mode, and you don't group. Let's
say the large rectangle has an ID =1, and small rectangle is ID=2.

Select and open small rectangle shape sheet.
Set PinX = guard(sheet.1!PinX)
Set PinY = guard(sheet.1!PinY).
Set LocPinX = width*0
Set LocPinY = height*1

Select and open large reectangle shape sheet
Set LocPinX = width*0
Set LocPinY = height*1.

This gives the same functionality as the grouping technique bit now either
shape is selectable with a single click.

Hi John,
As I can see, there is not much I can do. Actually, I wanted a rectangular
shape with a small rectangle at the top left corner. That small one would
always be the same size and would stay at the top left corner of the big
rectangle no matter how the big one is resized.
I guess I will forget about my idea.
Thank you for your answer, it is very appreciated.

Hi,

I use Visio 2003 and 2007.

I want to know if it is possible to create a custom shape from two
rectangles (for example) grouped together and have only one rectangle be
resized when the custom shape is resized?

I do not want the user to have to ungroup the components to do the job.

Thanks for any help.
