Office 2013

Office 2010

Published: July 16, 2012

Moves the begin point of a one-dimensional (1-D) shape to the coordinates represented by xPos and yPos.

Version Information

Version Added: Visio 2.0

expression .SetBegin(xPos, yPos)

expression A variable that represents a Shape object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data Type	Description
xPos	Required	Double	The new x-coordinate of the begin point.
yPos	Required	Double	The new y-coordinate of the begin point.

Return Value

Nothing

The SetBegin method only applies to 1-D shapes. If the indicated shape is a 2-D shape, an error is generated.

The coordinates represented by the xPos and yPos arguments are parent coordinates, measured from the origin of the shape's parent (the page or group that contains the shape).
