Excel.ShapeFill class

Represents the fill formatting of a shape object.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.9 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

foregroundColor

Represents the shape fill foreground color in HTML color format, in the form #RRGGBB (e.g., "FFA500") or as a named HTML color (e.g., "orange")

transparency

Specifies the transparency percentage of the fill as a value from 0.0 (opaque) through 1.0 (clear). Returns null if the shape type does not support transparency or the shape fill has inconsistent transparency, such as with a gradient fill type.

type

Returns the fill type of the shape. See Excel.ShapeFillType for details.

Methods

clear()

Clears the fill formatting of this shape.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

setSolidColor(color)

Sets the fill formatting of the shape to a uniform color. This changes the fill type to "Solid".

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.ShapeFill object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.ShapeFillData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

Property Details

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(options?: Excel.Interfaces.ShapeFillLoadOptions): Excel.ShapeFill;

Parameters

options
Excel.Interfaces.ShapeFillLoadOptions

Provides options for which properties of the object to load.

Returns

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): Excel.ShapeFill;

Parameters

propertyNames

string | string[]

A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.

Returns

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths?: {
            select?: string;
            expand?: string;
        }): Excel.ShapeFill;

Parameters

propertyNamesAndPaths

{ select?: string; expand?: string; }

propertyNamesAndPaths.select is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.

Returns

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties: Interfaces.ShapeFillUpdateData, options?: OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions): void;

Parameters

properties
Excel.Interfaces.ShapeFillUpdateData

A JavaScript object with properties that are structured isomorphically to the properties of the object on which the method is called.

options
OfficeExtension.UpdateOptions

Provides an option to suppress errors if the properties object tries to set any read-only properties.

Returns

void

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

set(properties: Excel.ShapeFill): void;

Parameters

properties
