Count shows 1 when nothing is selected ??

Count shows 1 when nothing is selected ??

I can'r figure out why:

? ActiveWindow.Selection.Count
in the immidiate window shows 1 when no shape is selected !

When 1 shape is selected the immidiate window shows ERROR 438 - Object doesn't support this property or method !

When 2 or more shapes are selected the
? ActiveWindow.Selection.Count
shows the right counting of selected shapes !

What do I misunderstand here ?

That code has nothing to do with shapes as such, it's just whatever is selected. so if you have 49 cells selected it will return 49.

Why it gives an error with one shape selected, but works with multiple shapes selected I'm not sure.

You're right about the count of selected cells - but I have turned ON the selection of OBJECTS and it HIDES the selection of the cells but they are still selected and ? ActiveWindow.Selection.Count STILL shows the correct count of selected CELLS with NO shapes selected - that's explainable and understandable - but when Shapes (2 or more !) are selected the "? ActiveWindow.Selection.Count" sort of takes over and counts selected Shapes instead (the cells are STILL selected but NOT visible though !)

But ofcause it has 'something' to do with Shapes too - that's why it 1) makes an error when 1 shape is selected, and 2) it returns the correct counts when 2 or more is selected !

So something has to be explained here !

Selection has nothing to do with shapes as such, it's simply whatever is selected at that time, be it a shape, a cell, a control, a graph etc.

It makes NO sense with my samples in mind, but ... I think I'll have to close it here ...

 

[Fluff]

What samples?

 

[keldsor]

See my first posting !

 

[Fluff]

There are no samples in your op.

 

[keldsor]

Oh, no ... you said it yourself ... you can't explain what's is going on !

So, lets stop here ... bye bye

I can't explain why a single shape returns an error, but I have already explained why you get a count when no shapes are selected, which you don't seem to accept.
