Property Steps As Long
Member of FountainFill
The Steps property returns or specifies the number of steps in a fountain fill. The value can range from 2 to 999. If the value is equal to zero, the default number of steps of the document is used.
The following VBA example searches through all shapes on the current page for a fountain fill with a specified number of fountain steps (that is, where the value of the Steps property is not 0). If a shape is selected before this macro is played, the next shape with a fixed number of steps is searched for.
| Sub FindFixedSteps() | 
|  Dim s As Shape, id As Long | 
|  Dim bLoop As Boolean | 
|  Set s = ActiveShape | 
|  If s Is Nothing Then | 
|   ' Nothing selected. Get the first shape on the page. | 
|   Set s = ActivePage.Shapes(1) | 
|   If TestShape(s) Then | 
|    s.CreateSelection | 
|    Exit Sub ' Shape Found | 
|   End If | 
|  End If | 
|  id = s.StaticID ' Remember the ID of the selected shape. | 
|  Do | 
|   Set s = s.Next(cdrLevelPage, True, True) ' Get the next shape. | 
|   If TestShape(s) Then | 
|    s.CreateSelection | 
|    Exit Sub ' Shape Found | 
|   End If | 
|  Loop While id <> s.StaticID ' Loop until we find the selected shape again. | 
|  MsgBox "Shape not found", vbCritical | 
| End Sub | 
| ' The following function is used to check whether the current shape is the one | 
| ' we are looking for. | 
| Private Function TestShape(s As Shape) As Boolean | 
|  Dim b As Boolean | 
|  b = False | 
|  If s.Fill.Type = cdrFountainFill Then | 
|   If s.Fill.Fountain.Steps <> 0 Then b = True | 
|  End If | 
|  TestShape = b | 
| End Function |
