Effects.Item property - Developer Area

Effects.Item property

Gets a reference to the effect specified, in base 1

Syntax:

Property Get Item(ByVal Index As Long) As Effect

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
Index	Long	Specifies the preset placeholder that uniquely identifies each member of the Effects collection

Remarks:

The Item property returns a specific Effect object representing the effect applied.

Item is the default property of the Effects class, and its reference can be omitted when you are accessing items in an Effects collection. For example, Effects.Item(2) is the same as Effects(2) - they both reference the second effect in the collection.

Examples:

The following VBA example places text on a path.

Sub Test()
  Dim sText As Shape, sEllipse As Shape
  Set sText = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(0, 0, "Text On Path")
  Set sEllipse = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(4, 5, 2)
  sText.Text.FitToPath sEllipse
  sText.Effects(1).TextOnPath.Quadrant = cdrBottomQuadrant
End Sub
