#Property Value

An object that specifies the shape kind.

#Remarks

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:

  • DevExpress.Diagram.Core.BasicShapes
  • DevExpress.Diagram.Core.BasicFlowchartShapes
  • DevExpress.Diagram.Core.SDLDiagramShapes
  • DevExpress.Diagram.Core.ArrowShapes
  • DevExpress.Diagram.Core.SoftwareIcons
  • DevExpress.Diagram.Core.DecorativeShapes

See the Diagram Items document for information on shapes provided by these classes.

#Example

The following code assigns the DevExpress.Diagram.Core.BasicFlowchartShapes.Decision shape kind to a shape and specifies the shape text and size.

DiagramShape-Shape

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.
