FillFormat.GradientStyle property (PowerPoint)

Returns the gradient style for the specified fill. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.GradientStyle

expression A variable that represents a FillFormat object.

Return value

MsoGradientStyle

Remarks

Use the OneColorGradient, PresetGradient, or TwoColorGradient method to set the gradient style for the fill. Attempting to return this property for a fill that doesn't have a gradient generates an error. Use the Type property to determine whether the fill has a gradient.

The value returned by the GradientStyle property can be one of these MsoGradientStyle constants.

msoGradientDiagonalDown
msoGradientDiagonalUp
msoGradientFromCenter
msoGradientFromCorner
msoGradientFromTitle
msoGradientHorizontal
msoGradientMixed
msoGradientVertical

Example

This example adds a rectangle to myDocument and sets its fill gradient style to match that of the shape named "rect1." For the example to work, rect1 must have a gradient fill.

Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)

With myDocument.Shapes

    gradStyle1 = .Item("rect1").Fill.GradientStyle

    With .AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 0, 0, 40, 80).Fill

        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 0, 0)

        .OneColorGradient gradStyle1, 1, 1

    End With

End With
