| ShapeDescription |
An object that specifies the shape kind.
|
Shape kinds are specified by certain DevExpress.Diagram.Core.ShapeDescription class objects.
Using the following classes, you can access predefined shapes. These classes provide sets of static properties that return specific ShapeDescription objects:
See the Diagram Items document for information on shapes provided by these classes.
The following code assigns the DevExpress.Diagram.Core.BasicFlowchartShapes.Decision shape kind to a shape and specifies the shape text and size.
diagramShape1.Shape = DevExpress.Diagram.Core.BasicFlowchartShapes.Decision;
diagramShape1.Content = "Initialized?";
diagramShape1.Size = new Size(150, 60);
The following code snippets (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contain references to the Shape property.
Note
The algorithm used to collect these code examples remains a work in progress. Accordingly, the links and snippets below may produce inaccurate results. If you encounter an issue with code examples below, please use the feedback form on this page to report the issue.
