LineFormat Object

Microsoft Publisher Visual Basic

LineFormat Object

Multiple objects LineFormat
ColorFormat

Represents line and arrowhead formatting. For a line, the LineFormat object contains formatting information for the line itself; for a shape with a border, this object contains formatting information for the shape's border.

Using the LineFormat Object

Use the Line property to return a LineFormat object. The following example adds a blue, dashed line to the active document. There's a short, narrow oval at the line's starting point and a long, wide triangle at its end point.

Sub FormatLine()
    With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes.AddLine(BeginX:=100, _
            BeginY:=100, EndX:=200, EndY:=300).Line
         .DashStyle = msoLineDashDotDot
         .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(50, 0, 128)
         .BeginArrowheadLength = msoArrowheadShort
         .BeginArrowheadStyle = msoArrowheadOval
         .BeginArrowheadWidth = msoArrowheadNarrow
         .EndArrowheadLength = msoArrowheadLong
         .EndArrowheadStyle = msoArrowheadTriangle
         .EndArrowheadWidth = msoArrowheadWide
    End With
End Sub
