How do I check to see if a user has Powerpoint 2007 or 2010 in the autorun for a CD, and download a reader if he does not? Can this be done in a VB script, or do I need to write a program to do this. My initial attempts tried using Fileinfo, but VB script does not recognise this class. This needs to be run on any user computer.
View 2 Replieshow to set a powerpoint presentation as the powerpoint.application.activepresentation? In the program below, when the form is loading, it will open 2 powerpoint files (Test1.ppt and Test2.ppt). After Test2.ppt is opened, it will be the activepresentation because it is opened last.What I am trying to do is when I press button1, it will set Test1.ppt as activepresentation so that when I press button4, it will show me "C:Test1.ppt".The same also goes to button2 making Test2.ppt as activepresentation..But what I get is, no matter how many times i press button1, Test2.ppt is always the activepresentation.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to copy a Range from Excel and Paste the information in powerpoint in either the HTML or the default format, however, I am having some difficulties. I am able to get the code to work for pasting the Range as an OLE Object but nothing else. The problem with doing this is that having the embedded excel documents in the powerpoint makes the file extremely large and unstable. I just need to be able to paste the information without the embedded information where it is editable (so, not as a bitmap or picture).

how do i run a program from a cd when its been inserted into a disc drive?
got my program done, and rather than install it i want to run it from the cd as soon as its inserted.
If some is being a bit dim... just think they got in the gene pool while the life guard wasnt looking.
Im using this code
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(Application.StartupPath, "autorun.inf", "[autorun]" & vbCrLf & "open=" & Application.ProductName & vbCrLf & "shellexecute=" & Application.ProductName)
and its not running when i open the folder.
I wanted to simulate the AutoRun it but I wanted to know what I use to write programs that quickly and be more comfortable.I want to use the VS but I want to quickly load it up AutoRun take'm.

View 1 RepliesI'm not sure if this would be this right place to post this, or even if I should go about trying to do it through my program itself or through the computer's settings on the final EXE file, but anyways, here goes.
I have a synchronization program that syncs my flashdrive to my home computer and (hopefully) my flashdrive to my personal folder on the school computers. What I think would be easiest, though, would be if the program was located on the flashdrive, and would simply "autorun" when I plug it in, instead of having 2 separate instances of the sync program running at school and at home.
Would it be easier (or possible) to code for that from within the program, or with the EXE file's settings?

View 3 RepliesI'm currently working with PowerPoint in VB.NET and having a bit of trouble getting a slide to have an individual background. Using the SlideMaster method changes all slide in the presentation and I want only one to be affected

MS PowerPoint, on the left side, there is a slide bar showing slides/pages available, is it that a slides pane? And how can I do that, let say if I want to create a new page/slide, how can I create a new blank slide? Also the side bar will display the pages/slides but is in smaller view...

View 5 RepliesI have a little problem with an application I am developing. My application is supposed to save a powerpoint slideshow, which I have finish coding. The code is as follows,
Dim dal As New CreateDAL
Dim bll As New createBLL
Dim searchQuery As String

However, upon click the button which calls these codes, the powerpoint slideshow that is saved does not end when it is in slideshow mode. For eg, there is 5 slides, after reaching the 5th slide, it returns back to the 1st slide and repeats over and over again. I'll have to press the ESC key to end the slide show. Is there anyway to prevent this? Perhaps I'm missing a statement to make the ending slide the last side?

View 6 RepliesI downloaded VB because I was instructed to do so in order to be able to convert powerpoint files to smart notebook files.unfortunately, this does not seem to do the trick.
View 4 RepliesI am in the process of writing a program that takes a .xls file of raw data, runs some calculations on the data, and then creates appropriate tables and charts. It then copies the charts into a PowerPoint presentation, formats each slide correctly with all the necessary information and saves the presentation with a new file name. That part alone works fine and takes about 12 seconds for the whole process (its roughly a 12 slide presentation).

View 2 RepliesI want to embed a PowerPoint presentation with narration, timings and the presentation PASSWORD in my application so that it will automatically start the Pesentation and enter the password, when a button on the form is clicked. I want to do this so that the PowerPoint presentation can only be viewed from within the application, where the password is embedded in code, and cannot be run by just finding the PowerPoint presentation file and clicking on it to run it.
I do not intend for the user to be given the password. I would imagine that i could use process.start to run the presentation, which can be put on the target computer at the time of instal, but I don't know how to handle the password with code on the button.
In PowerPoint (2007 at least, but probably others), it refuses to spell check "some" text in some shapes.
I thought it was the type of shape, so changed them, this didn't fix it. So I did some experiments moving what I called "infected" text into a few boxes and saw that it was somehow attached to the text.
Taking a very simple file with known infected and uninfected sections I converted the .pptx to a .zip and opened .pptslidesslide1.xml In here text which won't spell check is inclosed with:
<a:rPr noProof="1" Text which is spelt ok, or had "ignore" pressed in inclosed with:
<a:rPr dirty="0" smtClean="0" ...
And missspelled text, that was found with:
<a:rPr dirty="0" smtClean="0" err="1" ...
I found and deleted all the noProof="1"s in the file, returned it to the countainer and opened the presentation. and everything spell check as I would expect it should, all errors in all boxes were found, without damaging the file. After saving it, I reopened the silde1.xml and found dirty="0" smtClean="0" or dirty="0" smtClean="0" err="1" in the correct places.
Now the question is, how do I use this new found knowledge to fix a file, without manualy exstracting all the slide#.xml files, opening them in a text editor and using "Replace" to fix them? That process of exstraction could be automated, but if it is possible to do from VBA within PowerPoint it would be easier.
