FilterEffect Object

Represents a filter effect for an animation behavior.

Using the FilterEffect Object

Use the FilterEffect property of the AnimationBehavior object to return a FilterEffect object. Filter effects can be changed using the FilterEffect object's Reveal, SubType, and Type properties.

Example

The following example adds a shape to the first slide of the active presentation and sets a filter effect animation behavior.

Sub ChangeFilterEffect()
    Dim sldFirst As Slide
    Dim shpHeart As Shape
    Dim effNew As Effect
    Dim bhvEffect As AnimationBehavior

    Set sldFirst = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
    Set shpHeart = sldFirst.Shapes.AddShape(Type:=msoShapeHeart, _
        Left:=100, Top:=100, Width:=100, Height:=100)
    Set effNew = sldFirst.TimeLine.MainSequence.AddEffect _
        (Shape:=shpHeart, EffectID:=msoAnimEffectChangeFillColor, _
        Trigger:=msoAnimTriggerAfterPrevious)
    Set bhvEffect = effNew.Behaviors.Add(msoAnimTypeFilter)
 
    With bhvEffect.FilterEffect
         .Type = msoAnimFilterEffectTypeWipe
         .Subtype = msoAnimFilterEffectSubtypeUp
         .Reveal = msoTrue
    End With
End Sub
