The code sample below shows how to combine three shapes into a shape group using the ShapeCollection.GroupShapes method:
// Create three shapes.
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
Shape shape1 = worksheet.Shapes.AddShape(ShapeGeometryPreset.RectangularCallout, 100, 100, 300, 300);
Shape shape2 = worksheet.Shapes.AddShape(ShapeGeometryPreset.RegularPentagon, 450, 0, 300, 300);
Shape shape3 = worksheet.Shapes.AddTextBox(300, 500, 200, 200, "Shape Text");
// Combine them into a shape group.
Shape shapeGroup = worksheet.Shapes.GroupShapes(new Shape[] { shape1, shape2, shape3 });
' Create three shapes.
Dim worksheet As Worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(0)
Dim shape1 As Shape = worksheet.Shapes.AddShape(ShapeGeometryPreset.RectangularCallout, 100, 100, 300, 300)
Dim shape2 As Shape = worksheet.Shapes.AddShape(ShapeGeometryPreset.RegularPentagon, 450, 0, 300, 300)
Dim shape3 As Shape = worksheet.Shapes.AddTextBox(300, 500, 200, 200, "Shape Text")
' Combine them into a shape group.
Dim shapeGroup As Shape = worksheet.Shapes.GroupShapes(New Shape() { shape1, shape2, shape3 })
Tip
Call the ShapeCollection.UngroupShapes method to divide a shape group into single shapes.
