DataItems.CopyFrom method

Copies DataItems from a Shape

Syntax:

Sub CopyFrom(ByVal Shape As Shape)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
Shape	Shape	Specifies the shape object whose data fields and values are copied and placed into another data item object

Remarks:

The CopyFrom method copies the data fields and values from a shape and copies them into another shape. A data item stores information about a shape object within the CorelDRAW development environment.

The CopyFrom method does not copy values from the CDRStaticID and Name fields.

Examples:

The following VBA example copies object data from the currently selected shape to the newly created ellipse.

Sub Test()
  Dim s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape
  Set s1 = ActiveShape
  Set s2 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(4, 5, 3)
  s2.ObjectData.CopyFrom s1
End Sub
