MsoTriState AnimateBackground { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState

Remarks

Use the TextLevelEffect and TextUnitEffect properties to control the animation of text attached to the specified shape.

If the specified shape is a graph object, the property value is msoTrue if the background (the axes and gridlines) of the specified graph object is animated. The property applies only to AutoShapes with text that can be built in more than one step or to graph objects.

If this property is set to msoTrue and the TextLevelEffect property is set to ppAnimateByAllLevels, the shape and its text are animated simultaneously. If this property is set to msoTrue and the TextLevelEffect property is set to anything other than ppAnimateByAllLevels, the shape is animated immediately before the text is animated.

The effects of setting this property are not apparent unless the specified shape is animated. For a shape to be animated, the TextLevelEffect property for the shape must be set to something other than ppAnimateLevelNone, and either the Animate property must be set to msoTrue, or the EntryEffect property must be set to a constant other than ppEffectNone.

The value of the AnimateBackground property can be one of these MsoTriState constants.
