The following members return ConnectorShape objects:
To add a connector between shapes, create a ConnectorShape object and add it to the Slide.Shapes collection. Specify the following connector properties:
StartShape | EndShapeSpecify start and end shapes to connect.StartShapeSiteIndex | EndShapeSiteIndexSpecify connection point indexes of connected shapes. The index starts with the top side (0) and increases counterclockwise. Use the shape.Type.Geometry.ConnectionSites.Count property to obtain the number of connection sites for the current shape.TypeSpecifies the connector type.OutlineSpecifies connector appearance.
The following code snippet adds a connector between two shapes:
using DevExpress.Docs.Presentation;
using System.Drawing;
namespace PresentationApiSample;
public class Program {
public static void Main(string[] _) {
//...
Shape shape1 = new Shape(ShapeType.Rectangle);
shape1.Outline = new OutlineStyle { Fill = new SolidFill(Color.DarkGreen), Width = 8 };
shape1.X = 30;
shape1.Y = 30;
shape1.Width = 800;
shape1.Height = 800;
slide.Shapes.Add(shape1);
Shape shape2 = new Shape(ShapeType.Rectangle);
shape2.Outline = new OutlineStyle { Fill = new SolidFill(Color.DarkGreen), Width = 8 };
shape2.X = 1200;
shape2.Y = 1200;
shape2.Width = 800;
shape2.Height = 800;
slide.Shapes.Add(shape2);
ConnectorShape connector = new ConnectorShape();
connector.StartShape = shape1;
connector.EndShape = shape2;
connector.StartShapeSiteIndex = 2;
connector.EndShapeSiteIndex = 0;
connector.Type = ConnectorShapeType.Curved;
connector.Outline = new LineStyle {
Fill = new SolidFill(Color.Red),

EndWidth = ArrowSize.Large
};
slide.Shapes.Add(connector);
