Determining weather an object is within another object using a VBA scr 1

[flycast]

I wish to determine if a circle, arc or line is contained within a polyline using VBA procedure. I have investigated the intersect command but this only works for 3D objects, my objects will be 2d objects.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric

'Polyline: this method will fail if the polyline Type property is not acSimplePoly.
'The bulge is the tangent of 1/4 of the included angle for the arc
'between the selected vertex and the next vertex in the polyline’s vertex list.
'A negative bulge value indicates that the arc goes clockwise
'from the selected vertex to the next vertex.
'A bulge of 0 indicates a straight segment, and a bulge of 1 is a semicircle.
