Item Property

Microsoft PowerPoint Visual Basic

Item Property

       

Returns or sets the adjustment value specified by the Index argument. For linear adjustments, an adjustment value of 0.0 generally corresponds to the left or top edge of the shape, and a value of 1.0 generally corresponds to the right or bottom edge of the shape. However, adjustments can pass beyond shape boundaries for some shapes. For radial adjustments, an adjustment value of 1.0 corresponds to the width of the shape. For angular adjustments, the adjustment value is specified in degrees. The Item property applies only to shapes that have adjustments. Read/write Single.

expression.Item(Index)

expression   Required. An expression that returns an Adjustments object.

Index   Required Long. The index number of the adjustment.

Remarks

AutoShapes, connectors, and WordArt objects can have up to eight adjustments.

Example

This example adds two crosses to myDocument and then sets the value for adjustment one (the only one on this type of AutoShape) on each cross.

Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
    .AddShape(msoShapeCross, 10, 10, 100, 100) _
        .Adjustments.Item(1) = 0.4
    .AddShape(msoShapeCross, 150, 10, 100, 100) _
        .Adjustments.Item(1) = 0.2
End With

This example has the same result as the previous example even though it doesn't explicitly use the Item property.

Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
    .AddShape(msoShapeCross, 10, 10, 100, 100) _
        .Adjustments(1) = 0.4
    .AddShape(msoShapeCross, 150, 10, 100, 100) _
        .Adjustments(1) = 0.2
End With
