ShapeNodes.SetSegmentType Method

  • Article
Word Developer Reference

Sets the segment type of the segment that follows the node specified by Index.

Syntax

expression.SetSegmentType(Index, SegmentType)

expression   Required. A variable that represents a ShapeNodes collection.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Index Required Long The node whose segment type is to be set.
SegmentType Required MsoSegmentType Specifies if the segment is straight or curved.

Remarks

If the node is a control point for a curved segment, this method sets the segment type for that curve. Note that this may affect the total number of nodes by inserting or deleting adjacent nodes.

Example

This example changes all straight segments to curved segments in the third shape on the active document. The third shape must be a freeform drawing.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Dim lngLoop As Long

With ActiveDocument.Shapes(3).Nodes
lngLoop = 1
While lngLoop <= .Count
If .Item(lngLoop).SegmentType = msoSegmentLine Then
.SetSegmentType lngLoop, msoSegmentCurve
End If
lngLoop = lngLoop + 1
Wend
End With
