FreeformBuilder Object

  • Article
Word Developer Reference

Represents the geometry of a freeform while it is being built.

Remarks

Use the BuildFreeform method of the Shapes or CanvasShapes object to return a FreeformBuilder object. Use the AddNodes method to add nodes to the freeform. Use the ConvertToShape method to create the shape defined in the FreeformBuilder object and add it to the Shapes collection. The following example adds a freeform with four segments to the active document.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  With ActiveDocument.Shapes _
        .BuildFreeform(msoEditingCorner, 360, 200)
    .AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingCorner, _
        380, 230, 400, 250, 450, 300
    .AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingAuto, 480, 200
    .AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, 480, 400
    .AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, 360, 200
    .ConvertToShape
End With
