This method doesn't alter the size or position of the connector: the beginning of the connector remains positioned at a connection site but is no longer connected. Use the EndDisconnect method to detach the end of the connector from a shape.

expression.BeginDisconnect

expression    Required. An expression that returns a ConnectorFormat object.

Example

This example adds two rectangles to the first slide in the active presentation, attaches them with a connector, automatically reroutes the connector along the shortest path, and then detaches the connector from the rectangles.

Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
Set s = myDocument.Shapes
Set firstRect = s.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 100, 50, 200, 100)
Set secondRect = s.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 300, 300, 200, 100)
With s.AddConnector(msoConnectorCurve, 0, 0, 0, 0).ConnectorFormat
    .BeginConnect firstRect, 1
    .EndConnect secondRect, 1
    .Parent.RerouteConnections
    .BeginDisconnect
    .EndDisconnect
End With
