Determines whether an animation should accelerate when it starts. Read/write.
Syntax
expression .SmoothStart
expression A variable that represents a Timing object.
Return Value
MsoTriState
Remarks
The value of the SmoothStart property can be one of these MsoTriState constants.
Constant |
Description |
|---|---|
msoFalse |
The default. The animation does not accelerate when it starts. |
msoTrue |
The animation accelerates when it starts. |
Example
The following example adds a shape to a slide, animates the shape, and instructs the shape to accelerate when it starts.
Sub AddShapeSetTiming()
Dim effDiamond As Effect
Dim shpRectangle As Shape
Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
.AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _
Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50)
Set effDiamond = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _
.AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, effectId:=msoAnimEffectPathDiamond)
With effDiamond.Timing
.Duration = 5
.SmoothStart = msoTrue
End With
End Sub
