BeginDisconnect Method [Publisher 2003 VBA Language Reference]

Detaches the beginning of the specified connector from the shape to which it's attached.

expression.BeginDisconnect

expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Remarks

This method doesn't alter the size or position of the connector: the beginning of the connector remains positioned at a connection site but is no longer connected.

Use the EndDisconnect method to detach the end of the connector from a shape.

Example

This example adds two rectangles to the first page in the active publication, attaches them with a connector, automatically reroutes the connector along the shortest path, and then detaches the connector from the rectangles.

Dim shpRect1 As Shape
Dim shpRect2 As Shape

With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes

    ' Add two new rectangles.
    Set shpRect1 = .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, _
        Left:=100, Top:=50, Width:=200, Height:=100)
    Set shpRect2 = .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, _
        Left:=300, Top:=300, Width:=200, Height:=100)

    ' Add a new connector.
    With .AddConnector(Type:=msoConnectorCurve, _
            BeginX:=0, BeginY:=0, EndX:=0, EndY:=0) _
            .ConnectorFormat

        ' Connect the new connector to the two rectangles.
        .BeginConnect ConnectedShape:=shpRect1, ConnectionSite:=1
        .EndConnect ConnectedShape:=shpRect2, ConnectionSite:=1

        ' Reroute the connector to create the shortest path.
        .Parent.RerouteConnections

        ' Disconnect the new connector from the rectangles but
        ' leave in place.
        .BeginDisconnect
        .EndDisconnect
    End With

End With
