EffectBlend.BlendGroup

Property BlendGroup As Shape

The BlendGroup property returns a Shape object that represents a blend group (all intermediate blend steps).

Blend objects in a group should be separated before working with an individual blend object.

The BlendGroup property returns a read-only value.

The following code example creates a blend between two circles, separates the blend, and moves the blend steps up and to the right. In this example, the Effect.Separate method returns a ShapeRange object, the first element of which is the same blend group shape.

Sub Test() 
 Dim s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape, eff As Effect, s As Shape 
 Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(0, 10, 2, 8) 
 Set s2 = s1.Duplicate(5, -7) 
 s1.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 0, 100, 0 
 s2.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 100, 100, 0 
 Set eff = s2.CreateBlend(s1) 
 Set s = eff.Blend.BlendGroup 
 eff.Separate 
 s.Move 1, 1
