Set Z order for ShapeEx?

Aspose.Slides Product Family

I see it is possible to set the Z order of shapes for PowerPoint Shape, using the ZOrder(ZOrderCmd) method. How is this done with ShapeEx?

Thanks,

Jeff Montgomery

Hi JeffMontgomery,


There are two methods used in ShapesEx class for setting the ZOrder Position of the shape. Please find the necessary details below.

Moves a shape from the collection to the specified position.
public void Reorder(int,ShapeEx);


Moves shapes from the collection to the specified position. Shapes will be placed starting from index in order they appear in list.
public void Reorder(int,params ShapeEx[]);

Thanks, that worked well.

It would be kind of nice if the API were the same for all versions of PowerPoint. Just a wish...

Thanks,

Hi Jeff,

Please accept my apology for the delayed response.

We are working on merging the two separate API’s for PPT and PPTX together. Hopefully, the issues of non uniform ways in accessing/using properties in two API’s will be resolved.

Thanks and Regards,

That's great. Do you have an expected time of completion for the merge project? We have a scheduled product release this year, and it uses the PowerPoint API.

Hi Jeff,

As mentioned earlier that we are working on merging the two API's together. I am sorry that I am unable to share the defined time limit for the complete merger. We are working in phases and at the moment the PPT reading using Aspose.Slides.Pptx has been made possible. Please visit this link for further reference. ODP presentation reading in Aspose.Slides API will be available in next release of Aspose.Slides for .NET.

Thanks and Regards,
