Example

The following example creates a diagram and clones the newest-created node.

  Sub CloneANode()

    Dim dgnNode As DiagramNode
    Dim shpDiagram As Shape
    Dim intNodes As Integer

    'Adds cycle diagram and first child node
    Set shpDiagram = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.AddDiagram _
        (Type:=msoDiagramCycle, Left:=10, Top:=15, _
        Width:=400, Height:=475)
    Set dgnNode = shpDiagram.DiagramNode.Children.AddNode

    'Adds three additional nodes to diagram
    For intNodes = 1 To 3
        dgnNode.AddNode
    Next intNodes

    'Automatically formats the diagram
    dgnNode.Diagram.AutoFormat = msoTrue

    'Clones the first child node without cloning associated child nodes
    dgnNode.CloneNode CopyChildren:=False

End Sub
