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...
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 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.
I 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.
<DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto)> _
Private Shared Function FindWindow( _
ByVal lpClassName As String, _
[code]....
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.
So I have a Powerpoint presentation. It contains numerous images on it, referred to by image X. (So it's the same image but on multiple pages) These same images on different pages/slides have different width/height attributes associated to them. So even though they're the same image, they may not be the same size.
So there exists a scenario where an image exists on a lot of the slides. I want the ability to replace all of them at the same time (quickly) without having to go through each slide and separately replacing X, one at a time with the new image.
Is this possible? (yes/no)How would this be accomplished? (abstract - high level explanation is only required)

View 5 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]

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 2 Replies1. Since the plate number will be stored directly into the database after being converted from the image. However, due to the conversion process of the image into text takes few seconds, it is not able to be stored into the database... May i know is there any code that can solve it? Maybe can delay the process of storing the plate number?

View 3 RepliesI'm developing a standalone application. The purpose of it is to have no installation necessary. I'm trying to keep it as small as possible, and everything contained in the actual program, so that the user can let it sit right on their desktop. I wanted to make it possible to generate an image, preferably something transparent (.png, .gif) of a certain dimension, and export it to a certain folder. I've explored Bitmap library, but I've yet to come up with a successful solution. I'd be very obliged if someone could point me in the correct direction. Here's my current code:
Dim myPNG = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(fileName:="logo.png")
myPNG.SetResolution(xDpi:=100, yDpi:=20)
myPNG.MakeTransparent() 'creates transparency
myPNG.Save("C:logo.png")

I'm developing an application in VB.Net (VS2008) which allows the creation of classroom layouts. The layout is a panel and has child panels (seat objects) the seats are then populated using drag and drop and show a preview of the person sitting there.
I would like to export this panel to a printable format such as jpeg, pdf etc.I have tried using the CopyFromScreen but I can't get this to only output the layout panel. (some of the panel could be off the screen at the time of export)I have also considered using HTML outputting each seat as an absolutely positioned div container. Then printing the HTML page.

View 1 RepliesWe have a multilingual site, or culture-sensitive, and some of the static content now needs to be targeted; for this I'm using themes as it seems the easiest way to achieve what I want, but I can't for the life of me get the images to pick up.I'm setting the theme in code-behind, and thought at first that maybe this was the issue, but on checking up it looks like I'm doing the right thing (setting on Pre-Init).I expect to be able to reference images using relative paths where App_Themes/ThemeName/ is automatically resolved, such as:[code]In the above code, CurrentSite. Culture Name would be a language culture name (for example, en-gb, or nn-no) that does have an existing corresponding theme folder containing all required resources.Pages do have EnableTheming set to True. Also, I have tried removing the theme-setting code and applying the theme in the page using Theme="en-gb" to no avail.Is there anything immediately evident as to why the URLs aren't resolved?
