MsoTrue to set the motion position relative to the position of the shape. This property is only used in conjunction with motion paths. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.Relative

expression A variable that represents a EffectParameters object.

Return Value
MsoTriState

Remarks

MsoTriState can be one of these MsoTriState constants.
msoCTrue Doesn't apply to this property.
msoFalse Default. The motion path is absolute.
msoTriStateMixed Doesn't apply to this property.
msoTriStateToggle Doesn't apply to this property.
msoTrue The motion path is relative.

Example

The following example adds a shape, adds an animated motion path to the shape, and reports on its motion path relativity.

Visual Basic for Applications 
Sub AddShapeSetAnimPath() Dim effDiamond As Effect Dim shpCube As Shape Set shpCube = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _ .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeCube, Left:=100, _ Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50) Set effDiamond = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _ .AddEffect(Shape:=shpCube, effectId:=msoAnimEffectPathDiamond) effDiamond.Timing.Duration = 3 MsgBox "Is motion path relative or absolute: " & _ effDiamond.EffectParameters.Relative & vbCrLf & _ "0 = Relative, -1 = Absolute" End Sub
