Reading PowerPoint Effects with VBA
- by OneNerd
I have been working with VBA inside PowerPoint, and have a grasp on most things.
What I am struggling with is reading the effect/animation settings for each object.
I seem to be able to get a lot of what I need through the Powerpoint.ActivePresentation.Slides(slide_id).TimeLine.MainSequence(seq_num)
What confuses me is how to convert the numeric value of Powerpoint.ActivePresentation.Slides(slide_id).TimeLine.MainSequence(seq_num).EffectType to an effect (so looking for a table of values to effects or perhaps a CONST table).
Also, how to read in all the different level of effects (like entrance, or emphasis, etc) is really confusing. not to mention I cannot wrap my head around the timeline (which seems like it is not really a timeline).
Can anyone point me to any good articles or documentation that discusses how to read the effects and animations properly and fully?
Thanks.
