Default Shapes: identifying different types (charts, textboxes, pictures e

Since I use various shapes quite a lot so I use a form. I get the list of the
shapes on a sheet very simply:
For Each Shape In ActiveSheet.Shapes
ListBox1.AddItem (Shape.name)
Next Shape
I have controls where I can set margins, add/modify alternative text and
shape names, convert Textboxes to Pictures etc.

Now the problem. My list contains all the TextBoxes, Charts, Rectangles,
Pictures and Ovals. And I noticed yesterday if I have any filters on, the
DropDowns are there too and create all sorts of trouble if I select them!
How can I filter the different types of Shape so my list will only show the
type I want? I'll use checkboxes I guess but what code can I use to recognise
a Picture from a chart or an activeX control from a yellow oval?

Thanks for any assistance.
