FillFormat Object

PowerPoint Developer Reference

Represents fill formatting for a shape. A shape can have a solid, gradient, texture, pattern, picture, or semi-transparent fill.

Remarks

Many of the properties of the FillFormat object are read-only. To set one of these properties, you have to apply the corresponding method.

Example

Use the Fill property to return a FillFormat object. The following example adds a rectangle to myDocument and then sets the gradient and color for the rectangle's fill.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes _
        .AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 90, 90, 90, 80).Fill
    .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 128, 128)
    .OneColorGradient msoGradientHorizontal, 1, 1
End With
