Getting To The Next Slide In PowerPoint
I have seen several instances of code that allows you to advance to the next slide in PowerPoint, but all of these instances require that you be in Slide Show mode. I am looking for a way to advance to the next slide while outside of the slide show so I can then have visual basic delete and modify objects on the next page, which doesn't work if you are viewing the slide show. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Powerpoint Hide Slide
I'm trying to activate/deactive the "Hide Slide" option from within a Powerpoint2000 presentation using an ActiveX checkbox. Just some context: This is a flashcard program that displays all slides in a random order. The program must not show the flashcards that users already know, which they indicate by clicking the checkbox.
I have...
Sub CheckBox1_Click()
' If CheckBox checked then set Hide Slide option Active.
If (CheckBox1.Value = Checked) Then
ActivePresentation.Slides(2).SlideShowTransition.Hidden = msoTrue
ElseIf (CheckBox1.Value = Unchecked) Then
ActivePresentation.Slides(2).SlideShowTransition.Hidden = msoFalse
End If
End Sub
Any thoughts?
Creating New Powerpoint Slide Using Excel?
ok.. Im trying to add a new slide to a presentation that has NO slides (from excel) using:
Code:
Set PPT = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application")
PPT.ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutTitle).SlideIndex
but it does not reconize ppLayoutTitle (SlideFormat). so I tried:
Code:
Set SlideType = PPT.Presentations.Sliderange.Slides(1).Layout
PPT.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide Index:=PPT.ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=1, Layout:=SlideType.ppLayoutTitle).SlideIndex
but no success. Any ideas??

Powerpoint Slide Navigation Using Combo Box?
I am not a programmer so I was wondering if there is anyway to code a combo box in Powerpoint so when you select an option in the drop down, it goes to different slides throughout the presentation based on your selection. If there is, does anyone have any sample code for this to get me started?
Or if you know of a site that would point me in the right direction, that would work too. Thanks!
Image To EXISTING Powerpoint Slide
this should be simple and i apologize if i am missing something stupid but i can not get this to work but every example i have looked at is either coded wrong giving me errors or deals with adding a slide then putting an image file on the slide
Dim oPP As PowerPoint.ApplicationClass
Dim oPresSet As PowerPoint.Presentations
Dim oPres As PowerPoint.PresentationClass
oPP = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
oPP.Visible = True
oPresSet = oPP.Presentations
If firstpass = True Then
oPres = oPresSet.Open("c:plantest.ppt", , , True)
Else
oPres = oPresSet.Open("c:plan beta.ppt", , , True)
End If
oPP.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide(Index:=layoutvalue(x, 1))
Dim oSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
*** i thought one of the next lines would declare the oslide var to a slide but it is not working*****
'oSlide = opresset.ActivePresentation.Slides(layoutvalue(x, 1))
'oSlide = opresset.slides(1)
**** because i want to use this line to put the image to the slide****
oSlide.Shapes.AddPicture(spic, False, True, 150, 150, 500, 350)
if anyone can point me in the right direction or show me some example code it would be greatly appreciated.. again i apologize if i am doing something stupid.
THANKS!!!
Hyperlinking To A Specific Slide In PowerPoint
I'm starting to wonder if this is actually possible. I'm using a web browser control in my project, and I want to use its Navigate method to navigate to a specific slide within a PowerPoint presentation. I thought I could do this using bookmarks, but PowerPoint doesn't let you insert bookmarks. I've tried making a hyperlink within PowerPoint to another slide, and then copying its notation for the link into my VB project, but I can't get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could go straight to the right slide? Thanks.
Is There A Way To Tell When A PowerPoint Slide Show Actually Starts?
I’m using the following code to run a large PP slide show. There is a finite amount of time between when the program gives the command to start and when the show actually starts (2-3 minutes in my case) I would like to play some background music during this time. Is there a variable that I could monitor to determine when the show actually starts? Or maybe some other method of doing slide shows with VB that would give me that capability.
VB Code:
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)Private Const RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED = &H80010001 Sub RunSlideShow(ByVal S As String) Dim PPT As Object Dim Pres As Object Dim SSW As Object Dim State As Long On Error Resume Next Set PPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application") Set Pres = PPT.Presentations.Open(S, False, False, False) Set SSW = Pres.SlideShowWindow If SSW Is Nothing Then Set SSW = Pres.SlideShowSettings.Run End If State = SSW.View.State Err.Clear Do While (Err.Number = RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED) Or (Err.Number = 0) DoEvents Sleep 1000 State = SSW.View.State Loop Pres.Close PPT.Quit Set Pres = Nothing Set PPT = NothingEnd Sub

VBA And Powerpoint 97 Add Photo To Slide Problem
hi all
been having a little problem i want to insert a photo onto a slide and keep the photos natural proportions, but in pp97 the addpicture function has the width and height attributes as non-optional, which when automated brings in all the photos the same size, which is no good to me as i need to place the photo on the correct background according to its natural dimensions. In pp2000 the attributes are optional and it works perfectly.
I have tried the addOLEoject function this seems very slow and has given problems by not diplaying the photo only an icon....indicating jpeg
A solution to this problem would be great as this is quite urgent
many thanks

Powerpoint - Stop Slide Transition Query

Powerpoint: Removing Shapes On Slide Change
I dynamically add a few shapes to a Slide to simulate a dropdown menu. I ran into a problem deleting the shapes again however.
Because I write shapes they are actually added to the slide and won't disapear anymore. I know how to dynamically delete a shape. That is not a problem. But I want to do this when the user goes to the next slide. I could unfortunatly not find any event that is triggerd upon moving to a next slide. Is this at all possible? Am I simply missing something?
In the ideal situation the user would click on a "menu item" (a shape), which opens up the dropdown menu (a collection of dynamically writen shapes) and when the user clicks anywhere but the dropdown menu all those shapes making up the dropdown menu would be deleted again.
I have no problem detecting my dropdown menu, nor with deleting slides. I am most of all looking for an event or any other possible way to trigger my code when the user clicks to go to the next slide.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me!

Delay Starting Slide Show In Powerpoint

Capture The Time That Has Passed On A Powerpoint Slide
Hi!
I'm creating a Powerpoint presentation where the viewer would have to answer some questions in a textbox and then click on a command button to move on to the next page.
I would like to record how long the person takes before clicking on the 'Next' button. I'm trying to use the SlideElapsedTime Property in my code, and display the timing taken on a label. But the time recorded and displayed is 0 when I click on the button. Wondering if anyone can help me with this.
Thanks!

PcAnywhere Turns Off Powerpoint Slide Show Upon Disconnect
My idea didn't work after all. A script was developed that tells
Powerpoint to run a slideshow 15 seconds after it is told to
run. This would allow time to "disconnect" pcAnywhere, with the
hopes that the slideshow would not stop running as well. The
slideshow ends up running, but not in full screen mode.
Something else has to be developed. Such as a script that when
started opens up Powerpoint, then the file, then starts the
slideshow, then makes adjustments in the settings. This must be
possible.
Can anyone come up with a way to do this?

A Really Basic Question About Addressing A Textbox On A PowerPoint Slide From A Macro
I am trying to have PowerPoint create several slides that each have am image of a recursive mathematical function. I have written a macro that will create the desired number of slides and draw the image I want, but I can't get the program to put the elements of each cyles into a textbox on each slide. I have put the code of the macro below.
"cycle" is that array that contains the output elements of each cycle and "pts" is the array that has the coordinates of the points on the circle that represent each cycle's elements. I want to put the array "cycle" into a textbox on each page.
Code:
Const modulus = 10
Const mult = 7
Dim cycle(modulus)
Sub creatCycles()
'
' Macro recorded 5/11/2004 by

Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim w As Integer
Dim h As Integer
Dim xc As Integer
Dim yc As Integer
Dim u As Integer
'set slide dimensions
With Application.ActivePresentation.PageSetup
.SlideWidth = 8.5 * 72
.SlideHeight = 8.5 * 72
h = 400
w = 400
End With
'set center and unit length
xc = w / 2
yc = h / 2
u = xc
'create new window
For i = 1 To modulus
createNewSlide
Next
'create cycle
For j = 1 To modulus
cycle(1) = j
For i = 2 To modulus
cycle(i) = (mult * cycle(i - 1)) Mod modulus
Next
'create coordinates of cycle's elements on the circle
Dim pts(1 To modulus, 1 To 2) As Single
For i = 1 To modulus
pts(i, 1) = (Cos(6.28 / modulus * cycle(i))) * u + xc
pts(i, 2) = -(Sin(6.28 / modulus * cycle(i))) * u + yc
Next
'draw the cycle
For i = 1 To modulus - 1
Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(j)
myDocument.Shapes.AddLine pts(i, 1), pts(i, 2), pts(i + 1, 1), pts(i + 1, 2)
Next
pts(modulus, 1) = pts(1, 1)
pts(modulus, 2) = pts(1, 2)
Next
' createTextBox() here and enter the cycle's elements
End Sub
Sub createNewSlide()
'
' Macro recorded 5/12/2004 by
ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide Index:=ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=2, Layout:=ppLayoutBlank).SlideIndex
End Sub
Sub createTextBox()
Dim i As Integer
Dim modulus As Integer
modulus = 10
For i = 1 To modulus
Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(i)
myDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, _
30, 462, 550, 100).TextFrame.TextRange.text = ""
Next
End Sub
I also want to draw "dots" on the circle where the cycle touches the circle. I hope that's clear.
I'm sure you can tell that I'm not a programer, so please keep the answer simple. All of the code I know I gained from letting the program write a macro and then I modified it. If you can recommend a good text, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Vicki
