Hi,

I am looking for a solution to extract effect options direction.
For eg: Animation Float has direction options as:
Float up
Float down

Note: I have tried effect->get_Subtype() , which does not return correct direction for some effects

Could you please provide more information about which Aspose product you are using and the specific context of the effects you are trying to extract? This will help us provide a more accurate answer.

@pankajku,
There are discrepancies with OpenXML in the PowerPoint user interface. There is no FloatIn effect with Up or Down subtypes, there are FloatUp and FloatDown effects. In earlier PowerPoint versions, the FloatUp effect was called Ascend, and FloatDown was called Descend (Ascend or Float Up? - The PowerPoint Blog). That’s why you observe this behavior.

To improve usability, we added aliases for Ascend (FloatUp) and Descend (FloatDown) in Aspose.Slides 24.9. When using the new types, please keep the following in mind:

auto presentation = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"sample.pptx");
auto firstSlide = presentation->get_Slide(0);
auto sequence = firstSlide->get_Timeline()->get_MainSequence();
auto shape = firstSlide->get_Shape(0);

auto shapeEffects = sequence->GetEffectsByShape(shape);
auto effect = shapeEffects->idx_get(0);

System::Console::WriteLine(u"{0}", effect->get_Type());
System::Console::WriteLine(u"{0}", effect->get_Subtype());
System::Console::WriteLine(u"{0}", effect->get_Type() == EffectType::Descend); // Should return 'true'
System::Console::WriteLine(u"{0}", effect->get_Type() == EffectType::FloatDown); // Should return 'true'
