Gluing/connecting connectors to shapes in PowerPoint using VBA

Hello,

I am hustling to find a way where I can glue or stick connectors to shapes. Which can also be said like, changing dynamic connectors to static connectors.So that when a shape is moved connectors stick to that shape and adjust accordingly. Please help: pray2:

I did lot of research was unable to find a way. Many solutions were on visio which I am not using.

This is the case I am trying to achieve, but by uisng VBA:

Thought this would help us to start:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/pre...ectedfrom=MSDN

I am working on it as well, if I find a solution I will update the feed. Thank you.

May be possible, but probably not worth the effort to make a flexible solution in VBA

I always just do it with the mouse

I've also put my 'special' shapes after formatting (color, border, text, anchor points, etc.) on slides in a 'library' presentation and copy/pasted as needed

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the insights. Assuming there were already many connectors between boxes in a slide, running a macro which sets these connectors to stick with boxes. Can we solve this in any way? As shown in picture, the connector is not actually connected to shape displaying grey connection points instead of green connection points.

There MIGHT be a way to do it, but it's w..a..y beyond my PP abilities

Also, I'm moving this to the PP forum since you might get more people looking at it there

with ray of hope..
Thanks Paul
