What's the opposite of EntryEffect property?

In VBA, I know I can use the EntryEffect property to programmatically assign
an animation effect to make my object appear. But what is the VBA equivalent
of "ExitEffect"? ... yes, I know there is no such property ... I am trying to
figure out the method to programmatically assign an animation effect to make
my object disappear.

Suggestions?
 
Go to the Microsoft web site and use it's search for "vbapp10.chm". It
fully documents the PowerPoint object model. It will save you hours of
hunting for answers.

Read it. And I am still asking what is the opposite of EntryEffect when
referring to a shape on a slide.
 
The ExitEffect and EntryEffect remain the same. The only differentiating
property is the Exit property. All you need to do is to create an
entryeffect and setting the Exit property to TRUE. This will make it behave
as an Exit animation.

Oh well. So much for Austin's "teach a man to fish" approach. I thought
it was a good idea.

The new timeline is a bit confusing. Whether something is an entrance or
exit effect is dictated by the .Exit property of the animation. So, if,
for example, you had one animation on the first slide that had an
entrance effect, you could change that to an exit effect with the
following code:

ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence(1).Exit = msoTrue

ActivePresentation - the current presentation
Slides(1) - the first slide
TimeLine.MainSequence(1) - the first animation in the regular (not
triggered/interactive) sequence of animations
Exit - the boolean value that will decide whether this is an exit
animation or not
= msoTrue - it is an exit animation

And, David, you will notice if you read the unit, the EXIT action was not
addressed.

Thanks to Shyam for a usable response.
 
Janie,

Why the insulting response to people trying to help/teach you something? I
don't know why you had a problem using the documentation I referred you too.
I type "exit" in the search and it comes right up with the information you
needed and even gives examples of how to use the code. Did you even bother
to try the search feature, or was it just easier to come back and insult
others?

No I am not trying to be a hard ankles but you have to understand that there
are no paid employees here and everyone DONATES their time and energy to
help folks just like you. When you turn around and insult them for their
efforts... Well, you won't be on anyone's "A" list to help again in the
future. Just a word to the wise, your choice if you listen or not .
