Effects.Item

Property Item(Index As Long) As Effect

Member of Effects

The Item property returns a specific Effect object representing the effect applied.

The Item property is the default property and its reference can be omitted when referencing items in the collection. For example, Effects.Item(2) is the same as Effects(2) — they both reference the second effect in the Effects collection.

The Item property returns returns a read-only value.

The following code example places text on a path:

Sub Test() 
 Dim sText As Shape, sEllipse As Shape 
 Set sText = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(0, 0, "Text On Path") 
 Set sEllipse = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(4, 5, 2) 
 sText.Text.FitToPath sEllipse 
 sText.Effects(1).TextOnPath.Quadrant = cdrBottomQuadrant 
End Sub
