Example

The following example adds a freeform with five vertices to the report, converts the freeform to a shape, and then changes the background style of the shape.

Sub AddFreeform2()
    Dim shapeReport As Report
    Dim reportName As String
    Dim freeformBuild As FreeformBuilder
    Dim freeformShape As shape

    reportName = "Freeform2 report"
    Set shapeReport = ActiveProject.Reports.Add(reportName)
    
    Set freeformBuild = shapeReport.Shapes.BuildFreeform(msoEditingCorner, 360, 200)
    
    With freeformBuild
        .AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingCorner, 380, 230, 400, 450, 300
        .AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingAuto, 480, 200
        .AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, 480, 400
        .AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, 360, 200
        .ConvertToShape
    End With
    
    Set freeformShape = shapeReport.Shapes(1)
    
    freeformShape.BackgroundStyle = msoBackgroundStylePreset10
End Sub
