    Type As MsoConnectorType, _
    BeginX As Single, _
    BeginY As Single, _

    EndY As Single _
) As Shape
'Usage
Dim instance As Shapes

    MsoConnectorType Type,
    float BeginX,
    float BeginY,
    float EndX,
    float EndY
)

Parameters

  • BeginX
    Type: System.Single
    The horizontal position, measured in points, of the connector's starting point relative to the left edge of the slide.
  • BeginY
    Type: System.Single
    The vertical position, measured in points, of the connector's starting point relative to the top edge of the slide.
  • EndX
    Type: System.Single
    The horizontal position, measured in points, of the connector's ending point relative to the left edge of the slide.
  • EndY

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Shape

Remarks

When you attach a connector to a shape, the size and position of the connector are automatically adjusted, if necessary. Therefore, if you're going to attach a connector to other shapes, the position and dimensions you specify when adding the connector are irrelevant.
