Properties

Name	Description
Application	When used without an object qualifier, this property returns an Application object that represents the Microsoft Excel application. When used with an object qualifier, this property returns an Application object that represents the creator of the specified object (you can use this property with an OLE Automation object to return the application of that object). Read-only.
BackColor	Returns or sets a ColorFormat object that represents the specified fill background color.
Creator	Returns a 32-bit integer that indicates the application in which this object was created. Read-only Long.
ForeColor	Returns or sets a ColorFormat object that represents the specified foreground fill or solid color.
GradientAngle	Returns or sets the angle of the gradient fill for the specified fill format. Read/write
GradientColorType	Returns the gradient color type for the specified fill. Read-only MsoGradientColorType.
GradientDegree	Returns the gradient degree of the specified one-color shaded fill as a floating-point value from 0.0 (dark) through 1.0 (light). Read-only Single.
GradientStops	Returns the end point for the gradient fill. Read-only.
GradientStyle	Returns the gradient style for the specified fill. Read-only MsoGradientStyle.
GradientVariant	Returns the shade variant for the specified fill as an integer value from 1 through 4. The values for this property correspond to the gradient variants (numbered from left to right and from top to bottom) on the Gradient tab in the Fill Effects dialog box. Read-only Long
Parent	Returns the parent object for the specified object. Read-only.
Pattern	Returns or sets an MsoPatternType value that represents the fill pattern.
PictureEffects	Returns an object that represents the picture or texture fill for the specified fill format. Read-only
PresetGradientType	Returns the preset gradient type for the specified fill. Read-only MsoPresetGradientType.
PresetTexture	Returns the preset texture for the specified fill. Read-only MsoPresetTexture.
RotateWithObject	Returns or sets if the fill style should rotate with the object. Read/write MsoTriState.
TextureAlignment	Returns or sets the text alignment for the specified FillFormat object. Read/write.
TextureHorizontalScale	Returns or sets the value for horizontally scaling the text for the FillFormat object. Read/write Single.
TextureName	Returns the name of the custom texture file for the specified fill. Read-only String.
TextureOffsetX	Returns the offset X value for the specified fill. Read/write Single.
TextureOffsetY	Returns the offset Y value for the specified fill. Read/write Single.
TextureTile	Returns the texture tile style for the specified fill. Read/write MsoTriState.
TextureType	Returns the texture type for the specified fill. Read-only MsoTextureType.
TextureVerticalScale	Returns the texture vertical scale for the specified fill. Read/write Single.
Transparency	Returns or sets the degree of transparency of the specified fill as a value from 0.0 (opaque) through 1.0 (clear). Read/write Double.
Type	Returns a MsoFillType value that represents the fill type.
Visible	Returns or sets a MsoTriState value that determines whether the object is visible. Read/write.
