Connection points

[Anthony]

Hi

I would like to see whether I can find where all the connection points on a
shape and then when I connect the shape to another shape to specify which
connection point should be used. Please let me know how to do it
programmatically

Thanks

Anthony

the connection points for a shape are defined in the connections section of
the shapesheet, I'd start by examining them.

Hi Al

Thanks for replying. May be I'm missing something. I couldn't find a way
to obtain the connections through a shape object. In my application, I would
like to determine the possible connection points after a shape has been
dropped on a page

Thanks in Advance

Anthony

A shape's connection points are stored in a shape's shapesheet. When a shape
is dropped on
the page you can check the rows in the connection section to find where and
what kind they
are.
