Timing.SmoothStart Property (PowerPoint)

Determines whether an animation should accelerate when it starts. Read/write.

Syntax

expression .SmoothStart

expression A variable that represents a Timing object.

Return Value

MsoTriState

Remarks

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

Example

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

Sub AddShapeSetTiming()



    Dim effDiamond As Effect

    Dim shpRectangle As Shape



    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)



    With effDiamond.Timing

        .Duration = 5

        .SmoothStart = msoTrue

    End With



End Sub
