PowerPoint.Binding class

Represents an Office.js binding that is defined in the presentation.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: PowerPointApi 1.8 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

id

Represents the binding identifier.

type

Returns the type of the binding. See BindingType for details.

Methods

delete()

Deletes the binding.

getShape()

Returns the shape represented by the binding. Will throw an error if the binding isn't of the correct type.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original PowerPoint.Binding object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as PowerPoint.Interfaces.BindingData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
