Finding shapes on the slide

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi

On this page

http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/slidesnet/Finding+a+Shape+in+a+Slide

you make this statement:

"It is important to know that PowerPoint Presentation files do not have any way to identify shapes on a slide except an internal unique Id. It seems to be difficult for developers to find a shape using its internal unique Id. This topic will describe a simple technique to make it easier for developers to find a specific shape on a slide without using its internal Id."

I would say the statement is false. I'm using heavily PowerPoint.Shape's property Name like this

PowerPoint.Shape s = AddShape(...);

s.Name = "Name";

...

s = slide.Shapes["Name"];

Using alt-text sounds cumbersome to me.

Powerpoint shape object contains a getter this[object index], while you have this[int index].

Maybe you could add this[string index] too?
