## Misc class

Contains various elements of shapes and groups, such as those that control selection highlighting and visibility.

### Misc.Del property {#del}

A flag indicating whether the element has been deleted locally. A value of 1 indicates that the element was deleted locally. The value of the property is BOOL integer constant.

**Type:** int

### Misc.NoObjHandles property {#noobjhandles}

Specifies whether selection handles are displayed when the shape is selected.

**Type:** BoolValue

### Misc.NonPrinting property {#nonprinting}

Specifies whether a selected shape can be printed.

**Type:** BoolValue

### Misc.NoCtlHandles property {#noctlhandles}

Specifies whether control handles are displayed when the shape is selected.

**Type:** BoolValue

### Misc.NoAlignBox property {#noalignbox}

Specifies whether the selection rectangle is displayed when the shape is selected.

**Type:** BoolValue

### Misc.UpdateAlignBox property {#updatealignbox}

Specifies whether to recalculate a shape's selection rectangle whenever a control handle is moved.

**Type:** BoolValue

### Misc.HideText property {#hidetext}

Hides the text for a shape. You can view text, edit properties, and apply styles to the text in the text block, although the changes will not appear until you specify the HideText element as 0.

**Type:** BoolValue

### Misc.DynFeedback property {#dynfeedback}

Specifies the type of visual feedback provided to users when they drag a connector

**Type:** DynFeedback

### Misc.GlueType property {#gluetype}

Specifies whether dynamic (shape-to-shape) glue is allowed when connecting to a shape

**Type:** GlueType

### Misc.WalkPreference property {#walkpreference}

Specifies whether an endpoint of a 1-D shape moves to a horizontal or vertical connection point on the shape it is glued to, using dynamic glue, when the shape is moved to an ambiguous position.

**Type:** WalkPreference

### Misc.BegTrigger property {#begtrigger}

Contains a trigger formula generated by Microsoft Visio that determines whether to move the begin point of a 1-D shape to maintain its connection to another shape.

**Type:** DoubleValue

Contains a trigger formula generated by Microsoft Visio. This trigger formula determines whether to move the end point of a 1-D shape to maintain its connection to another shape.

**Type:** DoubleValue

### Misc.ObjType property {#objtype}

Specifies whether objects are placeable or routable in diagrams when you use Microsoft Visio to lay out shapes on the drawing page.
