ScaleEffect Object

PowerPoint Developer Reference

Represents a scaling effect for an AnimationBehavior object.

Example

Use the ScaleEffect property of the AnimationBehavior object to return a ScaleEffect object. The following example refers to the scale effect for a given animation behavior.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence.Item.Behaviors(1).ScaleEffect

Use the ByX , ByY , FromX , FromY , ToX , and ToY properties of the ScaleEffect object to manipulate an object's scale. This example scales the first shape on the first slide starting at zero increasing in size until it reaches 100 percent of its original size. This example assumes that there is a shape on the first slide.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub ChangeScale()

Dim shpFirst As Shape
Dim effNew As Effect
Dim aniScale As AnimationBehavior

Set shpFirst = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1)
Set effNew = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _
    .AddEffect(Shape:=shpFirst, effectId:=msoAnimEffectCustom)
Set aniScale = effNew.Behaviors.Add(msoAnimTypeScale)

With aniScale.ScaleEffect

    'Starting size
    .FromX = 0
    .FromY = 0

    'Size after scale effect
    .ToX = 100
    .ToY = 100
End With



End Sub
