Duplicate Method

Description

Copies the referenced object to a specified location, creating a new instance of the object with the same property values as the original.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function Duplicate( _ Optional ByVal XDistance As Variant, _ Optional ByVal YDistance As Variant _ ) As Object

Parameters

XDistance: Specifies the distance in the x direction from the original that the copy of the referenced object is to be placed.
YDistance: Specifies the distance in the y direction from the original that the copy of the referenced object is to be placed.

Remarks

The referenced object is copied to the new location relative to the original (source) location. The distance is the difference from the object's original location to the XDistance and YDistance values. The new object is returned.
