FillFormat.GradientStyle Property (Word)
Returns the gradient style for the specified fill. Read-only MsoGradientStyle.
Syntax
expression .GradientStyle
expression An expression that represents a FillFormat object.
Remarks
This property is read-only. Use the OneColorGradient or TwoColorGradient method to set the gradient style for the fill.
Attempting to return this property for a fill that doesn't have a gradient generates an error. Use the Type property to determine whether the fill has a gradient.
Example
This example adds a rectangle to the active document and sets its fill gradient style to match that of the shape named "rect1." For the example to work, rect1 must have a gradient fill.
Dim docActive As Document
Dim lngGradient As Long
Set docActive = ActiveDocument
With docActive.Shapes
lngGradient = .Item("rect1").Fill.GradientStyle
With .AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 0, 0, 40, 80).Fill
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 0, 0)
.OneColorGradient lngGradient, 1, 1
End With
