BeginConnectedShape Property

Microsoft Excel Visual Basic

BeginConnectedShape Property

       

Returns a Shape object that represents the shape that the beginning of the specified connector is attached to. Read-only.

Note   If the beginning of the specified connector isn’t attached to a shape, this property generates an error.

Example

This example assumes that myDocument already contains two shapes attached by a connector named "Conn1To2." The code adds a rectangle and a connector to myDocument. The beginning of the new connector will be attached to the same connection site as the beginning of the connector named "Conn1To2," and the end of the new connector will be attached to connection site one on the new rectangle.

Set myDocument = Worksheets(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
    Set r3 = .AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 450, 190, 200, 100)
    .AddConnector(msoConnectorCurve, 0, 0, 10, 10).Name = _
        "Conn1To3"
    With .Item("Conn1To2").ConnectorFormat
        beginConnSite1 = .BeginConnectionSite
        Set beginConnShape1 = .BeginConnectedShape
    End With
    With .Item("Conn1To3").ConnectorFormat
        .BeginConnect beginConnShape1, beginConnSite1
        .EndConnect r3, 1
    End With
End With
