Set Slide Transitions

Introduction

You can get and set slide transition effects using Slide.SlideShowTransition property.

To set a transition effect for a slide, call UpdateSlide method. In the slide DTO object, set SlideShowTransition property, specify its type and, if you need, some other properties. Note that some transition properties apply to a limited set of transition types.

To remove transition effects from a slide, you need call UpdateSlide method with transition type set to None. If you set SlideShowTransition to null, the UpdateSlide method will just leave transition effects unchanged, whether they exist or not.

Example

Set circle transition effect for the fitst slide of MyPresentation.pptx document.
