Indenting multiple tree control items in Visio

The wireframing template in Visio has a treeview control to that allows you to add and remove items, and set their respective indent levels.  By default you can only adjust a single item at a time and even if you create a multiple selection, only the primary item is effected.  A forum question asked how you could make a single change to multiple items and I thought I would write a quick bit of code to show how you might go about it.

Modifying a Visio master shape

There was a question on the Visio forum recently on how to modify a built-in shape and I thought I'd jot down a quick walkthrough of how you might approach the problem.  In this instance I’m going to change the way the line weight scales, but the principle of how you modify and create your own master will be the same in most cases.
