Time Property

Microsoft PowerPoint Visual Basic

expression.Time

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Remarks

The value of the Time property can be any floating-point value between 0 and 1, representing a percentage of the entire timeline from 0% to 100%. For example, a value of 0.2 would correspond to a point in time at 20% of the entire timeline duration from left to right.

Example

This example inserts three fill color animation points in the main sequence animation timeline on the first slide.

Sub BuildTimeLine()

    Dim shpFirst As Shape
    Dim effMain As Effect
    Dim tmlMain As TimeLine
    Dim aniBhvr As AnimationBehavior
    Dim aniPoint As AnimationPoint

    Set shpFirst = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1)
    Set tmlMain = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine
    Set effMain = tmlMain.MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=shpFirst, _
        EffectId:=msoAnimEffectBlinds)
    Set aniBhvr = tmlMain.MainSequence(1).Behaviors.Add _
        (Type:=msoAnimTypeProperty)

    With aniBhvr.PropertyEffect
        .Property = msoAnimShapeFillColor
        Set aniPoint = .Points.Add
        aniPoint.Time = 0.2
        aniPoint.Value = RGB(0, 0, 0)
        Set aniPoint = .Points.Add
        aniPoint.Time = 0.5
        aniPoint.Value = RGB(0, 255, 0)
        Set aniPoint = .Points.Add
        aniPoint.Time = 1
        aniPoint.Value = RGB(0, 255, 255)
    End With
End Sub
