GradientStyle Property

Applies To

ChartFillFormat object.

Description

Returns the gradient style for the specified fill. Can be one of the following MsoGradientStyle constants: msoGradientDiagonalDown, msoGradientDiagonalUp, msoGradientFromCenter, msoGradientFromCorner, msoGradientFromTitle, msoGradientHorizontal, msoGradientMixed, or msoGradientVertical. Read-only Long.

This property is read-only. Use the OneColorGradient or TwoColorGradient method to set the gradient style for the fill.

Example

This example sets the chart's fill format so that its gradient style is changed to msoGradientDiagonalUp if it was originally msoGradientDiagonalDown.

With myChart.ChartArea.Fill
    If .Type = msoFillGradient Then
        If .GradientColorType = msoGradientOneColor Then
            If .GradientStyle = msoGradientDiagonalDown Then
                .OneColorGradient msoGradientDiagonalUp, _
                    .GradientVariant, .GradientDegree
            End If
        End If
    End If
End With
