FountainFill.Steps property
Gets or sets a fountain fill's steps
Syntax:
Property Get Steps() As Long
Property Let Steps(ByVal Value As Long)
Remarks:
The Steps property returns or specifies the number of steps in a fountain fill. The value can range from 2 to 999. If the value is equal to zero, the default number of steps of the document is used.
Examples:
The following VBA example searches through all shapes on the current page for a fountain fill with a specified number of fountain steps (that is, where the value of the Steps property is not 0). If a shape is selected before this macro is played, the next shape with a fixed number of steps is searched for.
Sub FindFixedSteps()
Dim s As Shape, id As Long
Dim bLoop As Boolean
Set s = ActiveShape
If s Is Nothing Then
  ' Nothing selected. Get the first shape on the page.
  Set s = ActivePage.Shapes(1)
  If TestShape(s) Then

 s.CreateSelection

 Exit Sub ' Shape Found
  End If
End If
id = s.StaticID ' Remember the ID of the selected shape.
Do
  Set s = s.Next(cdrLevelPage, True, True) ' Get the next shape.
  If TestShape(s) Then

 s.CreateSelection

 Exit Sub ' Shape Found
  End If
  Loop While id <> s.StaticID ' Loop until we find the selected shape again.
  MsgBox "Shape not found", vbCritical

End Sub
' The following function is used to check whether the current shape is the one
' we are looking for.
Private Function TestShape(s As Shape) As Boolean
  Dim b As Boolean
  b = False
  If s.Fill.Type = cdrFountainFill Then

 If s.Fill.Fountain.Steps <> 0 Then b = True

 End If

 TestShape = b
  End Function
