Thanks for your last post! That helpped out!
I wrote a function in C# to do this layout. Quick questions it seems like I
have to run this code everytime I add a new shape to the page? Is there a
way to set it so I do it once and done. Since it deals with page properies
it doesnt seem like I should be running it everytime I drop a cloud on the
page.
Second. I have noticed that the cloud is more complex then other shapes. By
default clouds seem to have subshapes under ItemFormID( # ). I want to get
ride of all the subshapes and make the background white so that I just have
a plan white cloud outline. I can do this fine for the first cloud cause I
know it will be ItemFormID( 6 through 2 ) but then I place some other non
cloud objects and then when I place the next cloud I have no idea what the
form ID is so I cant delete all it subshapes and change its color.
Third, after I have placed a cloud on the page, I want to place some smaller
object inside the cloud. How can I ensure that an object will be place
exactly inside a cloud? Right now i'm just randomly placing them on the
page..sometimes there in the cloud and sometimes not. Is there some property
I can use to add shapes to another shape, like added shapes to a cloud?
I know this is a lot, but thanks in advance.
