## ShapeBase::get_AllowOverlap method


Gets or sets a value that specifies whether this shape can overlap other shapes.

```cpp
bool Aspose::Words::Drawing::ShapeBase::get_AllowOverlap()
```

## Remarks


This property affects behavior of the shape in Microsoft Word. Aspose.Words ignores the value of this property.

This property is applicable only to top level shapes.

The default value is **true**.

## Examples



Shows how to work with floating tables properties. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>(System::String(get_MyDir() + u"Table wrapped by text.docx"));

System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Words::Tables::Table> table = doc->get_FirstSection()->get_Body()->get_Tables()->idx_get(0);

if (table->get_TextWrapping() == TextWrapping::Around)
{
    ASSERT_EQ(RelativeHorizontalPosition::Margin, table->get_HorizontalAnchor());
    ASSERT_EQ(RelativeVerticalPosition::Paragraph, table->get_VerticalAnchor());
    ASPOSE_ASSERT_EQ(false, table->get_AllowOverlap());

    // Only Margin, Page, Column available in RelativeHorizontalPosition for HorizontalAnchor setter.
    // The ArgumentException will be thrown for any other values.
    table->set_HorizontalAnchor(RelativeHorizontalPosition::Column);

    // Only Margin, Page, Paragraph available in RelativeVerticalPosition for VerticalAnchor setter.
    // The ArgumentException will be thrown for any other values.
    table->set_VerticalAnchor(RelativeVerticalPosition::Page);
}
```
