EffectInformation.AnimateBackground Property (PowerPoint)
Returns msoTrue if the specified effect is a background animation. Read-only.
Syntax
expression .AnimateBackground
expression A variable that represents an EffectInformation object.
Remarks
Use the TextLevelEffect and TextUnitEffect properties to control the animation of text attached to the specified shape.
If this property is set to msoTrue and the TextLevelEffect property is set to ppAnimateByAllLevels, the shape and its text are animated simultaneously. If this property is set to msoTrue and the TextLevelEffect property is set to anything other than ppAnimateByAllLevels, the shape is animated immediately before the text is animated.
You won't see effects of setting this property unless the specified shape is animated. For a shape to be animated, the TextLevelEffect property for the shape must be set to something other than ppAnimateLevelNone, and either the Animate property must be set to msoTrue, or the EntryEffect property must be set to a constant other than ppEffectNone.
The value returned by the AnimateBackground property can be one of these MsoTriState constants.
