CalloutFormat.Length Property

  • Article
PowerPoint Developer Reference

When the AutoLength property of the specified callout is set to False, the Length property returns the length (in points) of the first segment of the callout line (the segment attached to the text callout box). Read-only.

Syntax

expression.Length

expression   A variable that represents a CalloutFormat object.

Remarks

Applies only to callouts whose lines consist of more than one segment (types msoCalloutThree and msoCalloutFour). Use the CustomLength method to set the value of this property for the CalloutFormat object.

Example

If the first line segment in the callout named "co1" has a fixed length, this example specifies that the length of the first line segment in the callout named "co2" will also be fixed at that length. For the example to work, both callouts must have multiple-segment lines.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
    With .Item("co1").Callout
        If Not .AutoLength Then len1 = .Length
    End With
    If len1 Then .Item("co2").Callout.CustomLength len1
End With
