Examples

Shows how to identify move revision shapes.

// A move revision is when we move an element in the document body by cut-and-pasting it in Microsoft Word while
// tracking changes. If we involve an inline shape in such a text movement, that shape will also be a revision.
// Copying-and-pasting or moving floating shapes do not create move revisions.
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Revision shape.docx");

// Move revisions consist of pairs of "Move from", and "Move to" revisions. We moved in this document in one shape,
// but until we accept or reject the move revision, there will be two instances of that shape.
Shape[] shapes = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true).OfType<Shape>().ToArray();

Assert.AreEqual(2, shapes.Length);

// This is the "Move to" revision, which is the shape at its arrival destination.
// If we accept the revision, this "Move to" revision shape will disappear,
// and the "Move from" revision shape will remain.
Assert.False(shapes[0].IsMoveFromRevision);
Assert.True(shapes[0].IsMoveToRevision);

// This is the "Move from" revision, which is the shape at its original location.
// If we accept the revision, this "Move from" revision shape will disappear,
// and the "Move to" revision shape will remain.
Assert.True(shapes[1].IsMoveFromRevision);
Assert.False(shapes[1].IsMoveToRevision);
