ColorEffect.From Property (PowerPoint)
Sets or returns a ColorFormat object that represents the starting RGB color value of an animation behavior.
Syntax
expression .From
expression A variable that represents a ColorEffect object.
Remarks
Use this property in conjunction with the To property to transition from one color to another.
Do not confuse this property with the FromX or FromY properties of the ScaleEffect and MotionEffect objects, which are only used for scaling or motion effects.
Example
The following example adds a color effect and immediately changes its color.
Sub AddAndChangeColorEffect()
Dim effBlinds As Effect
Dim tlnTiming As TimeLine
Dim shpRectangle As Shape
Dim animColorEffect As AnimationBehavior
Dim clrEffect As ColorEffect
'Adds rectangle and sets effect and animation
Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
.AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _
Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50)
Set effBlinds = t.MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, _
effectId:=msoAnimEffectBlinds)
Set animColorEffect = tlnTimming.MainSequence(1).Behaviors _
.Add(Type:=msoAnimTypeColor)
Set clrEffect = animColorEffect.ColorEffect
'Sets the animation effect starting and ending colors
clrEffect.From.RGB = RGB(Red:=255, Green:=255, Blue:=0)
clrEffect.To.RGB = RGB(Red:=0, Green:=255, Blue:=255)
End Sub
