SUMMARY
=======
This article contains Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications sample macros (Sub
procedures) that demonstrate how to use the EntryEffect property and lists the
constants that you can use with the EntryEffect property. The EntryEffect
property can be applied to an object on a slide or to a slide show transition.

demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures. Microsoft
support professionals can help explain the functionality of a particular
procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added
functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs. If you have

Retrieving the EntryEffect Type
-------------------------------
The following sample Visual Basic procedure retrieves the EntryEffect type that
is currently applied to an object.
NOTE: If no object is selected when you run this example you will receive a
run-time error.
Sub GetEntryEffectFromObject()
' Used to store the EntryEffect type.
Dim lTypeOfEffect As Long
' This is the section of code that retrieves the EntryEffect Type.
With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.AnimationSettings
lTypeOfEffect = .EntryEffect
End With
End Sub
The following sample code retrieves the EntryEffect type that is currently
applied to a slide. The code loops through all slides in the active presentation
and checks the EntryEffect of each one.
Sub GetEntryEffectFromSlide()
Dim sSlideObject As Slide
Dim lTypeOfEffect As Long
' Get the slide show transition EntryEffect property for the slide.
For Each sSlideObject In ActivePresentation.Slides
lTypeOfEffect = sSlideObject.SlideShowTransition.EntryEffect
Next sSlideObject
End Sub
In the example above, the lTypeOfEffect is replaced each time the macro loops
with the EntryEffect of the next object. If you want to store the EntryEffect
for every slide, make lTypeOfEffect an array.
Setting the EntryEffect Type
----------------------------
The following sample Visual Basic procedure sets the EntryEffect property for a
selected object. An object must be selected prior to running this example.
Sub SetEntryEffectForObject()
' Used to store the EntryEffect type.
Dim lTypeOfEffect As Long
' Set the EntryEffect type.
With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.AnimationSettings
.EntryEffect = ppEffectFlyFromLeft
End With
End Sub
This example sets the EntryEffect to ppEffectFlyFromLeft. When you run the slide
show, the object flys from the left of the screen to its current position on the
slide. For a list of the different entry effects you can use, see the
"EntryEffect Constants List" section of this article.
The following sample code selects the first slide in your presentation and then
sets the EntryEffect for that slide.
Sub SetEntryEffectForSlide()
' Use this to refer to slide 1.
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
' Sets the EntryEffect to Checkerboard Across.
.SlideShowTransition.EntryEffect = ppEffectCheckerboardAcross
End With
End Sub
