Powerpoint Presentation In Web Control?
Aug 20, 2010
I'm putting the finishing touches to a fullscreen Winforms Application in VB (.net 3.5, VS2008). This is Q2 for today, as I seem to be coming up with all these little glitches I can't figure out!!I have a webcontrol, which I use to show a PowerPoint presentation - by using webctl.navigate("c:MyPresentation.ppt").This works perfectly, and my presentation shows exactly as desired.However, sometimes, when I close my application, the Powerpnt.exe process is left running.Is there any way of programatically forcing this to close if it has been left open, or am I not disposing of something I should (I can't find anything along these lines when running powerpoint through a web control)?

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 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.

I created a presentation which runs in kiosk mode as a PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Show. Now the problem is, that the presentation resets itself to slide one if there is no user input for 5 minutes. How do I disable this feature?
I am using Powerpoint 2010 (Version 14.0.6112.500 (32-bit))On a side note: I already found an Add-In (KioskAssistant) which enables me to increase the time before the slide is reset. But this change is only done locally for my machine and not saved into the presentation itself. So this not a sufficient enough solution if I want to ship my presentation to my client

I'm currently doing a program to search for text in powerpoint files using interop in vb.net 2005. When a user does a search, it will open the powerpoint (.ppt) file and do the search. This is working fine.What I want to achieve next is if the powerpoint file is already opened, I want the program to search for text in the opened powerpoint file (without opening the file again in ReadOnly mode).How can I do that..? I mean, I need to first search the list of opened program to see if the powerpoint file is opened and then i need to somehow cause my program to gain control of the opened powerpoint file before I can do a search right..? How can I do that..?

I 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'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).
With ppt2Slide
Sheets(index2).Activate
Range("CP12:CT" & RangeIndex2).Copy

If I have a small double in vb.net like this:
dim x as double = 0.00000003
A conversion to a string would produce a E-presentation (3E-7). in debugging the value it will be shown as full number (0.00000003). How can I get the full number in a string?

I've been working to refactor my code and ended up with a quite clean main BLL class that has only a few manager classes that pass information between eachother. They handle separate tasks/areas like socket connection, data, etc. It's only one instance of each of these manager objects, so I believe maybe the base layout is a structural singleton (?) ..but not sure. This seems to give quite good oversight and a clean separation of PL/BLL as the main form only access the BLL through one instance of a single class. But now I'm trying to figure out how to lay out the presentation layer. So with this I would like to understand a few points: Do you have all controls as members of the form class, or can you make sub classes where some controls only exist on lower levels? Like for example if you have a tab where all controls only interact with each other, and not the rest of the form, would it then be possible to make this a separate class that holds both controls and additional logic ? The first problem I get when trying this is with the events, as if I simply move an event handler method to another class than the form class, I get the message: Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types.What does this mean? and is there an easy way around this? I would like to understand how a slightly more complex PL is designed, so I know what direction to move in for studying/developing this.

Im currently working on an n-layer application that does alot of database work.90% of all database queries are updates, and inserts and I want to be able to view the results of my query in the presentation layer.I was thinking of creating a QueryResult class that has a few properties like QuerySuccessful (boolean), Message (string) - holds success or error message, and optional field to hold any additional data that may need to be passed back to the presentation layer.So I guess my question is, am I going about this the correct way by creating a QueryResult class, and passing that back up through the layers to my PL?

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.

I 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
[Code]......
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?

I 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).
