Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Sub BeginConnect( _
   ByVal connectedShape As Shape, _
   ByVal connectionSite As Integer, _
   Optional ByVal layout As Boolean _
)

'Usage
 
Dim instance As ConnectionShape
Dim connectedShape As Shape
Dim connectionSite As Integer
Dim layout As Boolean
 
instance.BeginConnect(connectedShape, connectionSite, layout)

public void BeginConnect( 
   Shape connectedShape,
   int connectionSite,
   bool layout
)

Parameters

connectedShape: The shape to attach the beginning of the connector to. The specified Shape object must be in the same Shapes collection as the connector.
connectionSite: A connection site on the shape specified by ConnectedShape. Must be an integer between 1 and the integer returned by the ConnectionSiteCount property of the specified shape. If you want the connector to automatically find the shortest path between the two shapes it connects, specify any valid integer for this argument and then use the RerouteConnections method after the connector is attached to shapes at both ends.

Remarks

If there's already a connection between the beginning of the connector and another shape, that connection is broken. If the beginning of the connector isn't already positioned at the specified connecting site, this method moves the beginning of the connector to the connecting site and adjusts the size and position of the connector.
