DOCUMENT:Q162385 13-MAY-2002 [powerpt] TITLE :PPT: How to Use the EntryEffect Property PRODUCT :Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows PROD/VER:MACINTOSH:98; WINDOWS:97 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbcode kbmacro kbProgramming kbdta kbdtacode KbVBA _IK11573 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition - Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows - Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= This article contains Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications sample macros (Sub procedures) that demonstrate how to use the EntryEffect property and lists the constants that you can use with the EntryEffect property. The EntryEffect property can be applied to an object on a slide or to a slide show transition. MORE INFORMATION ================ Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures. Microsoft support professionals can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs. If you have limited programming experience, you may want to contact a Microsoft Certified Partner or the Microsoft fee-based consulting line at (800) 936-5200. For more information about Microsoft Certified Partners, please visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/partner/referral/ For more information about the support options that are available and about how to contact Microsoft, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;CNTACTMS Retrieving the EntryEffect Type ------------------------------- The following sample Visual Basic procedure retrieves the EntryEffect type that is currently applied to an object. NOTE: If no object is selected when you run this example you will receive a run-time error. Sub GetEntryEffectFromObject() ' Used to store the EntryEffect type. Dim lTypeOfEffect As Long ' This is the section of code that retrieves the EntryEffect Type. With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.AnimationSettings lTypeOfEffect = .EntryEffect End With End Sub The following sample code retrieves the EntryEffect type that is currently applied to a slide. The code loops through all slides in the active presentation and checks the EntryEffect of each one. Sub GetEntryEffectFromSlide() Dim sSlideObject As Slide Dim lTypeOfEffect As Long ' Get the slide show transition EntryEffect property for the slide. For Each sSlideObject In ActivePresentation.Slides lTypeOfEffect = sSlideObject.SlideShowTransition.EntryEffect Next sSlideObject End Sub In the example above, the lTypeOfEffect is replaced each time the macro loops with the EntryEffect of the next object. If you want to store the EntryEffect for every slide, make lTypeOfEffect an array. Setting the EntryEffect Type ---------------------------- The following sample Visual Basic procedure sets the EntryEffect property for a selected object. An object must be selected prior to running this example. Sub SetEntryEffectForObject() ' Used to store the EntryEffect type. Dim lTypeOfEffect As Long ' Set the EntryEffect type. With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.AnimationSettings .EntryEffect = ppEffectFlyFromLeft End With End Sub This example sets the EntryEffect to ppEffectFlyFromLeft. When you run the slide show, the object flys from the left of the screen to its current position on the slide. For a list of the different entry effects you can use, see the "EntryEffect Constants List" section of this article. The following sample code selects the first slide in your presentation and then sets the EntryEffect for that slide. Sub SetEntryEffectForSlide() ' Use this to refer to slide 1. With ActivePresentation.Slides(1) ' Sets the EntryEffect to Checkerboard Across. .SlideShowTransition.EntryEffect = ppEffectCheckerboardAcross End With End Sub EntryEffect Constants List -------------------------- You can use the following constants with the EntryEffect property.
