Thanks Tahir.
Can I at least copy the properties from one AutoShapeEx that I have as a template to newly created AutoShapeEx? What is the best way to do it? do you have any examples? This got to be a common operation.

Thanks.

Hello dear,

I regret to share with you that there is no way to copy properties of AutoShapeEx. The only way to do this is, you can set properties of one AutoShapeEx to another shape. Please see the following code snippet. Please find the source presentation file in attachment as well.

PresentationEx srcPres = new PresentationEx(“d:\AutoShapeEx.pptx”);
//Get the shape which is already exists in slide
ShapeEx shp = srcPres.Slides[0].Shapes[0];
//Create a new shape
int shpId = srcPres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeTypeEx.Rectangle, 10, 10, 100, 100);

//Set properties of new shape form the shape which is already exists in sldie
srcPres.Slides[0].Shapes[shpId].FillFormat.FillType = shp.FillFormat.FillType;

srcPres.Slides[0].Shapes[shpId].FillFormat.SolidFillColor.Color = shp.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.Color;

srcPres.Slides[0].Shapes[shpId].Width = shp.Width;
srcPres.Slides[0].Shapes[shpId].Height = shp.Height;

srcPres.Save(“d:\outPut.pptx”, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pptx);
