Examples

 // Create an instance of PowerPoint Presentation

IsAssistant

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the SmartArt point is an assistant element.

Declaration

bool IsAssistant { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean	Returns true if the SmartArt point is an assistant element; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Setting this property to true will set the SmartArt point type to AssistantElement. Setting this property to false will set the SmartArt point type to Node.

Examples

 // Create an instance of PowerPoint Presentation
 IPresentation pptxDoc = Presentation.Create();
 //Add a blank slide to the Presentation
