Determines whether an animation should decelerate as it ends. Read/write.

Syntax

expression .SmoothEnd

expression A variable that represents a Timing object.

Return Value

MsoTriState

Remarks

The value of the SmoothEnd property can be one of these MsoTriState constants.

Constant

Description

msoFalse

The default. An animation does not decelerate when it ends.

msoTrue

An animation decelerates when it ends.

Example

The following example adds a shape to a slide, animates the shape, and instructs the shape to decelerate when it ends.

Sub AddShapeSetTiming()



    Dim effDiamond As Effect

    Dim shpRectangle As Shape



    'Adds shape and sets animation effect

    Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _

        .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _

        Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50)

    Set effDiamond = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _

        .AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, effectId:=msoAnimEffectPathDiamond)



    'Sets duration of effect and slows animation at end

    With effDiamond.Timing

        .Duration = 5

        .SmoothEnd = msoTrue

    End With



End Sub
