Syntax

expression.AddConnector (Type, BeginX, BeginY, EndX, EndY)

expression A variable that represents a Shapes object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
Type	Required	MsoConnectorType	The connector type to add.
BeginX	Required	Single	The horizontal position (in points) of the connector's starting point relative to the upper-left corner of the document.
BeginY	Required	Single	The vertical position (in points) of the connector's starting point relative to the upper-left corner of the document.
EndX	Required	Single	The horizontal position (in points) of the connector's end point relative to the upper-left corner of the document.
EndY	Required	Single	The vertical position (in points) of the connector's end point relative to the upper-left corner of the document.

Return value

Remarks

When you attach a connector to a shape, the size and position of the connector are automatically adjusted, if necessary. Therefore, if you are going to attach a connector to other shapes, the position and dimensions that you specify when adding the connector are irrelevant.

Example

The following example adds a curved connector to a new canvas in a new worksheet.

Sub AddCanvasConnector() 
 
    Dim wksNew As Worksheet 
    Dim shpCanvas As Shape 
 
    Set wksNew = Worksheets.Add 
 
    'Add drawing canvas to new worksheet 
    Set shpCanvas = wksNew.Shapes.AddCanvas( _ 
        Left:=150, Top:=150, Width:=200, Height:=300) 
 
    'Add connector to the drawing canvas 
    shpCanvas.CanvasItems.AddConnector _ 
        Type:=msoConnectorStraight, BeginX:=150, _ 
        BeginY:=150, EndX:=200, EndY:=200 
 
End Sub
