Thread: Is there a way to know if a shape is visible and not on the timeline?

    Is there a way to know if a shape is visible and not on the timeline?

    Hi - I have a slight code dilemma. I have a shape that I want to know if it is visible on the slide or not. Normally I could just use an
    If MyDocument.Slides(name).visible = True Then ....

    However, my issue is that this shape is also on the Timeline and only appears on screen when the main timeline (entrance animation) has been run! Therefore the visible command always returns as true!

    My question is, is it possible to identify under these circumstances if a shape is on the screen or not?

    Thank you for any comments.

    The only way would be to test the number of click animations to see if the relevant animation has run
