AutoReverse Property

Sets or returns an MsoTriState that represents whether an effect should play forward and then reverse, thereby doubling the duration. Read/write.

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

Example

The following example adds a shape and an animation effect to it; then sets the animation to reverse direction after finishing forward movement.

Sub SetEffectTiming()

    Dim effDiamond As Effect
    Dim shpRectangle As Shape

    'Adds rectangle and applies diamond effect
    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)

    'Sets the duration of and reverses the effect
    With effDiamond.Timing
        .Duration = 5 ' Length of effect.
        .AutoReverse = msoTrue
    End With

End Sub
