CloneLink.BitmapColorMaskLinked property

Gets or sets whether it has a Bitmap Color Mask Linked

Syntax:

Property Get BitmapColorMaskLinked() As Boolean
Property Let BitmapColorMaskLinked(ByVal Value As Boolean)

Remarks:

The BitmapColorMaskLinked property returns a value indicating if the color attributes of a clone object is linked to its parent object. If the BitmapColorMaskLinked property is True, the color attributes of the cloned object are linked to the parent object. If linked, the clone has the same bitmap mask effect as its parent object.

You can also break or restore a link by assigning a value to the property.

Examples:

The following VBA example determines if the BitmapColorMaskLinked property of the cloned bitmap object is broken (that is, False). A dialog box prompts the user to restore the bitmap color mask link. If Yes is chosen, the link is restored and a message is displayed in a message box.

Sub PresentData()
  If Clipboard.DataPresent("Text") Then
    Clipboard.Clear
  Else
    MsgBox "There is no text data in the Clipboard."
  End If
End Sub

Sub BitmapLink()
  Dim s As Shape
  Dim ret As VbMsgBoxResult
  Set s = ActiveSelection.Shapes(1)
  If Not s.CloneLink.BitmapColorMaskLinked Then
    ret = MsgBox("The Bitmap color mask link is broken. Do you want to restore it?", vbYesNo)
    If ret = vbYes Then
      s.CloneLink.BitmapColorMaskLinked = True
      MsgBox "The link is now active."
    End If
  End If
End Sub
