Property Direction As cdrContourDirection
Member of EffectContour
The Direction property returns or specifies the direction of a contour effect.
The Direction property returns a value of cdrContourDirection.
The following VBA example checks all contours on the current page and changes them as follows: all outside contours are to have twice as many steps, and all inside contours are to have a step distance of half of the previous size. The contours to the center of the shape are left unchanged.
| Sub Test() | 
|  Dim s As Shape, eff As Effect | 
|  For Each s In ActivePage.Shapes | 
|   For Each eff In s.Effects | 
|    If eff.Type = cdrContour Then | 
|     Select Case eff.Contour.Direction | 
|      Case cdrContourOutside | 
|       eff.Contour.Steps = eff.Contour.Steps * 2 | 
|      Case cdrContourInside | 
|       eff.Contour.Offset = eff.Contour.Offset / 2 | 
|      Case cdrContourToCenter | 
|       ' Do nothing | 
|     End Select | 
|    End If | 
|   Next eff | 
|  Next s | 
| End Sub |
