I am drawing a UML diagram in visio programmatically in which i am using a dynamic connector to connect shapes.But there are situations when the connector makes its way through the shape rather passing through the page(i.e. connector makes its route from source to destination shape through another shape lying in between source and destination),I want that connector should make its way through page only.Pls suggest how to make this possible.Check the attachment which of I have drawn.

I have set the page style  to flowchart but it has sorted out the issue from top to bottom,whereas i need to avoid connector from moving on the shape from  all directions because the source and destination  can  be from any direction.Is there any other way also???

Have you looked at the other line routing settings available from that dialog?

@Paul:Yes sir,firstly I implemented your suggestion to set the page settings to Flowchart type and then on Shapes behaviour I set the property "Layout and Route Around".These two settings worked and solved my problem.Thanks for the support.
