I do have a code for VB6 with i'm able to generate it but i cudn't find help
or documentation for .NET platform that makes it hard to access these COM
components.


Sample Code
---------------
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddConnector(msoConnectorStraight,
156#, 456#, 156#, 30#).Select
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Line.EndArrowheadStyle =
msoArrowheadTriangle
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddConnector(msoConnectorElbow,
234#, 84#, 192#, 60#).Select
With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange
.Line.BeginArrowheadStyle = msoArrowheadTriangle
.Line.EndArrowheadStyle = msoArrowheadTriangle
End With
