Remarks
The example below shows how to group two OLE objects. Use the ShapeCollection.InsertGroup method to create a shape group. The Shape.GroupItems property returns a collection of group elements. Call the AddOleObjectAsIcon methods to add OLE objects to the group.
Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
// Set measurement unit to inches.
document.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Inch;
// Insert a shape group.
Shape group = document.Shapes.InsertGroup(document.Range.Start);
// Specify the group position relative to the left and top edges of the page.
group.Offset = new PointF(1f, 6f);
// Access the collection of group items.
var groupItems = group.GroupItems;
// Add the first OLE object to the group.
groupItems.AddOleObjectAsIcon(@"D:\ExcelWorkbook.xlsx", OleObjectType.ExcelWorksheet,
DocumentImageSource.FromFile(@"Images\Excel.ico"), new PointF(0f, 0f));
// Add the second OLE object to the group.
groupItems.AddOleObjectAsIcon(@"D:\PowerPointPresentation.pptx", OleObjectType.PowerPointPresentation,
DocumentImageSource.FromFile(@"Images\PowerPoint.ico"), new PointF(1.5f, 0f));
