Rectangle that activates a macro

I have a macro assigned to a number of rectangles. When a
specific rectangle is clicked to activate the macro, I
need the macro to identify which rectangle (ex: "Rectangle
3") was clicked to activate the macro.
How would I do that?

Assign the macro to that rectangle


Public Sub Rec_click()
Dim sname as String
Dim rec as Rectangle

sName = application.caller
set rec = activeSheet.Rectangels(sName)
msgbox rec.Name
End Sub

Take a look at Application.Caller..

Public Sub LotsOfCallers()
Dim sWhich As String
sWhich = Application.Caller
MsgBox sWhich
End Sub

I would guess each rectangle has an on_click event so just pass some
indentifier as an arguement to your macro. Something like this
Private Sub Rectangle1_Click()
yourmacro "rec1"
End Sub
Private Sub Rectangle2_Click()
yourmacro "rec2"
End Sub

then for your macro

Sub yourmacro(WhichRectangle as String)
your code here
End Sub

the value WhichRectangle will tell you what was clicked to start your macro
