CloneLink.BitmapColorMaskLinked

Property BitmapColorMaskLinked As Boolean

Description

Member of CloneLink

The BitmapColorMaskLinked property returns a value indicating if the color attributes of a clone object is linked to its parent object. If the BitmapColorMaskLinked property is True, the color attributes of the cloned object are linked to the parent object. If linked, the clone has the same bitmap mask effect as its parent object.

You can also break or restore a link by assigning a value to the property.

VBA example

The following VBA example determines if the BitmapColorMaskLinked property of the cloned bitmap object is broken (that is, False). A dialog box prompts the user to restore the bitmap color mask link. If Yes is chosen, the link is restored and a message is displayed in a message box.

Sub PresentData()
If Clipboard.DataPresent("Text") Then
Clipboard.Clear
Else
MsgBox "There is no text data in the Clipboard."
End If
End Sub
Sub BitmapLink()
Dim s As Shape
Dim ret As VbMsgBoxResult
Set s = ActiveSelection.Shapes(1)
If Not s.CloneLink.BitmapColorMaskLinked Then
ret = MsgBox("The Bitmap color mask link is broken. Do you want to restore it?", vbYesNo)
If ret = vbYes Then
s.CloneLink.BitmapColorMaskLinked = True
MsgBox "The link is now active."
End If
End If
End Sub
