Title: Connector with text boxes attached
Post by: hbee on April 12, 2017, 10:58:09 AM
Hi,

I've been trying to create a shape which consists of a basic line connector and (three) text boxes. Two of the text boxes should be attached to the different ends of the line and one should be on the middle of the line by default. The text boxes should be movable and text box data is entered in the shape data fields. One of the text boxes should be visible only if a specific data graphic is chosen.

I've spent a few hours into this but I've not managed to get anything working. I've found some shapes which contain the text boxes in both ends but I've not managed to get the third box to work. Unfortunately my Visio skills are limited and I really do not know what I should be looking for so any pointers would be helpful.
