Examples

Shows how to tell whether a shape is a part of a group shape.

Document doc = new Document();

Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Rectangle);
shape.Width = 200;
shape.Height = 200;
shape.WrapType = WrapType.None;

// A shape by default is not part of any group shape, and therefore has the "IsTopLevel" property set to "true".
Assert.True(shape.IsTopLevel);

GroupShape group = new GroupShape(doc);
group.AppendChild(shape);

// Once we assimilate a shape into a group shape, the "IsTopLevel" property changes to "false".
Assert.False(shape.IsTopLevel);
