Effect.Type property

Gets the effect with a cdrEffectType type

Syntax:

Property Get Type() As cdrEffectType

Remarks:

The Type property returns the type of the current effect. Depending on the type of effect, an object of the effect's properties (for example, blend, contour, distortion, and so on) is accessible.

The Type property returns a read-only value of cdrEffectType.

Examples:

The following VBA example changes all blends attached to the selected shape so that they have only two steps.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Dim eff As Effect
  Set s = ActiveShape
  For Each eff In s.Effects
    If eff.Type = cdrBlend Then
      eff.Blend.Steps = 2
    End If
  Next eff
End Sub
