Element.Copy Method (ExSwimLane)

The Copy property copies the current element, and returns the newly created element. The Copy property copies almost all properties of the element. The Add method adds programmatically a new element to the surface. Use the InsertControl method to insert programmatically a child element that hosts an inner ActiveX control.

The following samples shows how you can create a copy of the element:

VBA (MS Access, Excell...)

With SwimLane1
	.Background(90) = RGB(255,255,255)
	.Elements.Add("Element 1",0,0).Copy().Caption = "Aka"
End With

VB6

With SwimLane1
	.Background(exElementBackColor) = RGB(255,255,255)
	.Elements.Add("Element 1",0,0).Copy().Caption = "Aka"
End With

VB.NET

With Exswimlane1
	.set_Background(exontrol.EXSWIMLANELib.BackgroundPartEnum.exElementBackColor,Color.FromArgb(255,255,255))
	.Elements.Add("Element 1",0,0).Copy().Caption = "Aka"
End With

VB.NET for /COM

With AxSwimLane1
	.set_Background(EXSWIMLANELib.BackgroundPartEnum.exElementBackColor,16777215)
	.Elements.Add("Element 1",0,0).Copy().Caption = "Aka"
End With

C++

EXSWIMLANELib::ISwimLanePtr spSwimLane1 = GetDlgItem(IDC_SWIMLANE1)->GetControlUnknown();
spSwimLane1->PutBackground(EXSWIMLANELib::exElementBackColor,RGB(255,255,255));
spSwimLane1->GetElements()->Add("Element 1",long(0),long(0))->Copy(vtMissing,vtMissing)->PutCaption(L"Aka");

C++ Builder

SwimLane1->Background[Exswimlanelib_tlb::BackgroundPartEnum::exElementBackColor] = RGB(255,255,255);

RETURN

		Type	Description
		X as Variant	A long expression that defines the copy's x-coordinate or a string expression that defines the x-offset to show the copy of the element. If empty, the default x-coordinate is "16", which indicates the offset to show the copy relative to the source.
		Y as Variant	A long expression that defines the copy's y-coordinate or a string expression that defines the y-offset to show the copy of the element. If empty, the default y-coordinate is "16", which indicates the offset to show the copy relative to the source.

		Return	Description
		Element	An Element object that indicates the newly created copy.
