CloneNode Method

Microsoft PowerPoint Visual Basic

expression.CloneNode(CopyChildren, TargetNode, Pos)

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

CopyChildren Required Boolean. True to include the diagram node's children.

TargetNode Required DiagramNode object. An expression that returns a DiagramNode that will be the source for the cloned diagram node.

Pos Optional MsoRelativeNodePosition. If TargetNode is specified, where the node will be added, relative to TargetNode.

MsoRelativeNodePosition can be one of these MsoRelativeNodePosition constants.
msoAfterLastSibling
msoAfterNode default
msoBeforeFirstSibling
msoBeforeNode

Example

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

Sub CloneANode()

    Dim dgnNode As DiagramNode
    Dim TdgnNode 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
    Set TdgnNode = new DiagramNode

    '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, TdgnNode

End Sub
