Effect.ControlPath property

Gets the control path for the object

Syntax:

Property Get ControlPath() As EffectControlPath

Remarks:

The ControlPath property returns an EffectControlPath object.

Examples:

The following VBA example checks whether there are any blends or text attached to the currently selected path. All blends are changed so that the object's transition in color from yellow to blue, and all text objects become filled with red.

Sub Test()
  Dim e1 As Effect, e2 As Effect
  For Each e1 In ActiveShape.Effects
    If e1.Type = cdrControlPath Then
      MsgBox "There are " & e1.ControlPath.Effects.Count & " effect objects on this path"
      For Each e2 In e1.ControlPath.Effects
        Select Case e2.Type
          Case cdrTextOnPath
            e2.TextOnPath.Text.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 255, 0, 0
          Case cdrBlend
            e2.Blend.StartShape.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 255, 255, 0
            e2.Blend.EndShape.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 0, 0, 255
        End Select
      Next e2
      Exit For
    End If
  Next e1
End Sub
