Excel shapes on worksheet 1
How do you find the name of a shape on a worksheet in developer mode?
I have a shape on a worksheet that is used as a watermark. When printing I want to hide it but when saving as a PDF I want to show it. I eventually found out that the shape was the second on the sheet and used the following code.
Sheets("eCSD").Shapes(2).Visible = False
Sheets("eCSD").PrintOut
Sheets("eCSD").Shapes(2).Visible = True
Now save a PDF with the shape visible
Sheets("eCSD").ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=pdf_folder & "" & UCase(txtUCI.Text), _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False
What I would like to do is click on the shape in developer mode and see its properties, including its name. Is this possible? All I can get is the properties of the sheet, not the objects on it.

If you click on the shape on the sheet where it appears, its name should appear in the name box (top left).
Thank you. Sometimes these things are just too easy..
