ShapeNodes.SetSegmentType method (Word)

Sets the segment type of the segment that follows the node specified by Index.

Syntax

expression. SetSegmentType( _Index_ , _SegmentType_ )

expression Required. A variable that represents a ShapeNodes collection.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
Index	Required	Long	The node whose segment type is to be set.
SegmentType	Required	MsoSegmentType	Specifies if the segment is straight or curved.

Remarks

If the node is a control point for a curved segment, this method sets the segment type for that curve. Note that this may affect the total number of nodes by inserting or deleting adjacent nodes.

Example

This example changes all straight segments to curved segments in the third shape on the active document. The third shape must be a freeform drawing.

Dim lngLoop As Long 
 
With ActiveDocument.Shapes(3).Nodes 
 lngLoop = 1 
 While lngLoop <= .Count 
 If .Item(lngLoop).SegmentType = msoSegmentLine Then 
 .SetSegmentType lngLoop, msoSegmentCurve 
 End If 
 lngLoop = lngLoop + 1 
 Wend 
End With
