How to identify where a connector is connect to (not the coordinat

[Roger]

Hi All,

We want to export drawings to a database. Which off course is possible with
visio 2003 (we are still at 2003). The only catch is that we want to store
connector lines between to shapes not as coordinates. But we want to now the
ID's or names of the shapes the connector lines is attached to.

In short, is there a way to translate the coordinates of the glue points of
a connector to the ID or name of the specific shape it is connect to ?

Regards,
Roger

Hi Al,

Thanks for your quick response. I have searched the SDK kit but without
success. Can you help me narrow down the search ?

Regards,
Roger

In the Visio Code Samples, under Connections for your chosen language, you
will find "Drawing Navigator Using Connections"
It is normal to get the shape you are connected to via the ToSheet or
FromSheet property of a Connects or FromCOnnects object, as you will see in
the SDK.
