DrawSmartConnector Method

Draws a smart connector. Returns a Shape object that corresponds to the created shape.

Applies to: Page object, Shape object

Syntax

[[Set] shapeRet =] object.DrawSmartConnector ( xBegin, yBegin, xEnd, yEnd )

The DrawSmartConnector method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object Required. An expression that returns an object in the Applies to list.
xBegin Required. An expression that returns a Double value. The X-coordinate of the smart connector's begin point.
yBegin Required. An expression that returns a Double value. The Y-coordinate of the smart connector's begin point.
xEnd Required. An expression that returns a Double value. The X-coordinate of the smart connector's end point.
yEnd Required. An expression that returns a Double value. The Y-coordinate of the smart connector's end point.
shapeRet Optional. A Shape type variable.

Remarks

If object is a page or a group, the DrawSmartConnector method creates the new smart connector inside this group / page, and then tries to connect the created smart connector. If the endpoints of the smart connector coincide with the default or user-defined connection points on any shapes, the connector is connected to these points. For shapes of other types the DrawSmartConnector method doesn't build anything and always returns Nothing.

The coordinates of the points are specified in the coordinate system of the shape, group or page, object is associated with. The coordinates are measured in internal units (InternalUnit).
