NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

Declaration

C#

IEnumerable<DrawingObject> Ungroup()

VB.NET

Function Ungroup As IEnumerable(Of DrawingObject)

Returns

Type	Description
IEnumerable<DrawingObject>	A collection of shapes retrieved from the group.

Remarks

The Ungroup method does not split nested groups into separate shapes. Call this method for each group individually.

The example below shows how to split all shape groups in the document (including nested groups):

C#

using System.Linq;
// ...

Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
List<DrawingObject> groups = document.Shapes.Flatten()
    .Where(x => x.Type == ShapeType.Group)
    .ToList();
for (int i = groups.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
    groups[i].GroupItems.Ungroup();
}

VB.NET

Imports System.Linq
' ...

Private document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
Private groups As List(Of DrawingObject) = document.Shapes.Flatten() _
        .Where(Function(x) x.Type = ShapeType.Group) _
        .ToList()
For i As Integer = groups.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
    groups(i).GroupItems.Ungroup()
Next i
