Remarks

This method is unusual in that you specify values for only the first two arguments. Microsoft PowerPoint fills in the other arguments, and your code should examine those values when the method returns.

The value of ElementID after the method returns determines whether Arg1 and Arg2 contain any information, as shown in the following table.

The following table describes the meaning of Arg1 and Arg2 after the method returns.
