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 1 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
PS Using the Background.Fill.UserPicture method doesn't seem to be working, but I'm not sure why...
I have been using VB to manipulate notes in PowerPoint presentations.Until today, everything had been working fine (in PowerPoint 2007) using:[code]But today I tried the code on a PowerPoint 2003 presentation and it threw an error saying that the object didn't exist.I tried looking in shape 1 and 0, but I don't find the notes.I then tried updating the presentation to the 2007 format, but the notes are still not accessible using VB, although they appear in the PowerPoint window fine.
View 1 RepliesI have a project Visual Studio VB2010 which controls PowerPoint and is working, I now want to copy a slide and put it into a Picture box but it does not work. I need to find what format PowerPoint puts it on the clipboard in. The copy is working because I can paste it into Paint or Word but when I use the code below I get nothing. If I copy a bmp/jpeg/tiff/png/meterfile in Paint it then shows in picturebox, so it appears the format is not right for powerPoint

I have written a VB.net 2010 Powerpoint addin that needs to be able to advance the slide via a button on it's main form when running the presentation. The functionality I require is exactly as if you press the space bar while focus is on the slide show window.
I have tried-PowerPointApp.ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Next
But this does not work in excatly the same way, namely when working with several animation sequences on the same slide.I am looking into using the API - FindWindow & SendMessage but I do not fully understand the steps to get this to work, or even if it can. Or is there another way?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 RC with Powerpoint 2010 Developer Beta.
if this is the case.What I'm trying to do:1) have a way to save / copy screenshot from an Air app2) automatically paste such screenshot into a new powerpoint slide in the current presentation
View 1 RepliesI have a text box on a Powerpoint Slide. The text box contains text that I need to use in an Excel program. The Excel program will be run from a button on a toolbar within Powerpoint. I need to be able to pass the text box text, from Powerpoint to a variable in Excel, so I can use it in my Excel VBA code.
View 2 RepliesI have a strange problem on one machine that my VB.Net (.NET 3.5 - VS2008) app is running on, it runs a custom sized Powerpoint presentation in an IE control within my VB app. However, on one of the machines my app is installed on, the presentation always pauses on slide 2.
This is a kiosk type app, where there is no user interactivity. On all the other machines running this software, there is no problem. So it must be something related to the machine itself.
The PC is an XP Pro machine and was originally running IE6, which displayed the problem, I ugraded it to IE8 to see if this would fix it, but the problem persists. The machine is running Powerpoint 2003 (don't recommend upgrading the machines OS/Software- this is out of the question, as it is a business spec machine - even getting IE8 installed was a battle!)
The presentation itself has no complexity, all 15 slides are basic text and photos, no animation, no video etc. As far as I can tell, the problem is nothing to do with my software, or the Powerpoint slideshow, as this operates fine on similar machines and reinstalls made no difference, it must be a problem with the machine/installation itself. I've tried running the slideshow on the problem machine, in PowerPoint itself, rather than in my app, and it runs fine. I've also tried running it in an IE window, without running it through my app, and again, it seems fine.
I am trying to send a keystroke to a running powerpoint presentation with SendMessage or Postmessage. But I can't get as far as the handle for the presentation.

As I understand it, you have to use FindWindow to get the application's handle and then FindWindowEx to get the sub-window's handle. The problem is that the line below FAIL returns 0, not a handle.Relevant material / possible answers are given in these sites but in C-type languages and I just can't see how what I'm doing is making the code fail: RE: hide cursor for kiosk application (powerpoint) hide cursor for kiosk application (powerpoint) | keyongtech Passing Event to Other Application.
how 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]

I'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).

View 1 RepliesI have a Form called 'Form1' and I want an addition pane/panel that slides over the Form from left to right which has additional controls on it. But I cant get the desired result.For example - the exact thing I need is in the .NET environment you have many sliding panels such as the 'Toolbox' that slides over on the Form. I want this exact replication so that it slides over 'Form1' from left to right when the user hovers over it

This will cause the event to not occur. If i change the "<" from the string, all is well. why cant I have "<" in my strings? This is important because i wont allow me to put an xml string in the text box.
im using Visual Basic 6 to automate a large amount of excel and word content into a single word document and am having to use selection.copy and selection.paste on a regular basis. this continually adds items into the office clipboard and fills it up rather rapidly making a huge drain on resources until word eventually gives up and crashes.i have a couple of things that i would like to do to that i think would prevent this from happening....
1-clear the task pane clipboard
2-switch the task pane clipboard off before my code starts automation
i've tried a couple of options to clear the clipboard but they only seem to clear the system clipboard and not the task pane one (containing its 24 resource hungry and useless items)[code]i can manually choose 'Stop Collecting' from the system tray icon menu, which appears to do what is says but i need to automate this function in someway.i find it hard to believe that microsoft would introduce a feature without giving even the most basic of access to programmers.
how I can resize the pane and the content adjust to the new size?I've tried to do this Panel_Menu.Width = 200 but the content does not resize to the new size. i want to see the information of 0 ,0 0 on on on , 7,5 IRE but I want the new size of the panel see all the information but in a smaller size. the problem is that when the user presses a button panel must be made smaller but has all the content?

View 2 RepliesOn the left half of my screen I have a datagridview. On the right half I have a document preview pane.As I change rows on the left half, I use the CurrentCellChanged event to open the document associated to that row in the previewer.This works fine, however, the focus is then placed in the preview pane which prevents the user from being able to use the arrow keys to step down a row at a time.To combat this, I made the final event in my CurrentCellChanged routine set the focus back to my datagridview. Unfortunately, even this doesn't always work because of what seems to be a timing issue.If the document to be previewed takes more than a fraction of a second to open, the code to move the focus to the datagridview is executed but after the image completes drawing, the focus is moved back to my previewer.I don't want to use a timer to force a delay and a DoEvents causes me some other issues.Is there some other event I can use to determine when my preview pane is complete and then and only then set the focus back to my datagrid?
View 8 RepliesIn windows explorer on Windows 7 (and Vista I believe), when you click on a file the bottom pane shows the files metadata. What I am particularly interested is the files Tag. If you click into the tag field, Windows will give you a list of tags. The list appears to be random and incomplete. So I have two questions. Is there a way to retrieve a list of a file tags on the system and is there a way to add to the list of tags in the Windows file pane?
