Example

The following code example shows how to add a gradient stop at the 50% position to the GradientStops collection of the fill format of the first shape in the active document. For this code example to work, the shape must already have a gradient fill applied.

Public Sub GradientStops_Example() 
 
 Dim wdShape As Shape 
 Dim wdFillFormat As FillFormat 
 Dim wdGradientStops As GradientStops 
 
 Set wdShape = ActiveDocument.Shapes(1) 
 Set wdFillFormat = wdShape.Fill 
 Set wdGradientStops = wdFillFormat.GradientStops 
 
 wdGradientStops.Insert RGB(255, 0, 255), 0.5 
 
End Sub
