Attaching a ShapeEx to ConnectorEx

Aspose.Slides Product Family
1

Hello,


Is there an analogous Connector.ConnectBegin(Shape shape, int connectionSite) method in ConnectorEX and if there isn’t, where is it located?

If there is no ConnectBegin(…) and ConnectEnd(…) for PPTX, how do we attach a connector to a connection site/point on another shape?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,


I have worked over the requirement shared by you and doubt that mentioned property is available in for PPTX in Aspose.Slides. I have created an issue with ID 31567 as new feature request in our issue tracking system. I will share the information with you as soon as some response is shared by our development team.

We are sorry for your inconvenience,

Hi, I'm glad that you have fixed the issue. But how and where is it fixed?

I can't find ANY documentation of how this feature Works. Can you deliver a code sample of how to connect two ShapeEx with a ConnectorEx?

Thanks!

Hi Casper,

Thanks for inquiring Aspose.Slides.

I regret to share that the support for ConnectorEx is unavailable in Aspose.Slides for .NET. An issue with ID SLIDESNET-31745 has already been created in our issue tracking system to provide this support. We will share the feedback with you as soon as the issue will be resolved.

Many Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. Two things:

  1. Is there anyway I can manually connect the shapes?
    I can add them by using "mySlide.Shapes.AddConnector(ShapeTypeEx.BentConnector2, x,y,w,h)", but I they wont "stick" to the shapes...
  2. Is there a plan for when this will be included in the product? (It's already implemented in "old" PPT format)

Thanks!

Hi Casper,

I regret to share that at present there is no alternate or work around approach available in Aspose.Slides for .NET to set PPTX shapes connectors. However we are working in this direction by launching the merged Aspose.Slides for .NET for PPT and PPTX. Since the connectors support is available in case of PPT inside Aspose.Slides, so after launching of merged API the said support will become available for PPTX as well. The mentioned API is expected be available during Q1 of 2014.

Many Thanks,

We are dealing with this same item and are wondering whether the expectation of a 2014 fix is still on track.

Thanks
