FillFormat.GradientStyle Property (PowerPoint)
Returns the gradient style for the specified fill. Read-only.
Syntax
expression .GradientStyle
expression A variable that represents a FillFormat object.
Return Value
MsoGradientStyle
Remarks
Use the OneColorGradient, PresetGradient, 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.
The value returned by the GradientStyle property can be one of these MsoGradientStyle constants.
msoGradientDiagonalDown |
msoGradientDiagonalUp |
msoGradientFromCenter |
msoGradientFromCorner |
msoGradientFromTitle |

Example
This example adds a rectangle to myDocument 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.
Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
gradStyle1 = .Item("rect1").Fill.GradientStyle
With .AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 0, 0, 40, 80).Fill
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 0, 0)
.OneColorGradient gradStyle1, 1, 1
End With
