OOps, sorry, I missed that. I thought this was the first question (didn't
see any Re: in front of it. Is OP asking the same question in muliple
posts? If so, apologies. I was just in automatic mode.

No need to apologies, you're good. I just being funny. Yeah he asked this
on Friday. I gave him two links, one was the same one that you just told
him about. But he didn't like my answer. Said something about not wanting
to "Run", but wanted to embed. :)

So I was just trying to be funny.

You know what just popped into my head. Maybe he wants to extract each
frame out of the file, and run the presentation himself.

Hi Tom and Ali,
I already went through these articles and created demo's. This example
doesn't fit to my need as I want to show slideshow inside a dilalog or
inside my frame.

Please follow this link where slideshow has been shown inside a frame
control.

http://skp.mvps.org/vb/pptvbwnd.htm

But this thing is done in VB, I want to immitate it in MFC for a
dialog or a win32 window. I don't want to open PowerPoint in another
window, I want to embed activex control ( if it is there ?) inside a
dialog which is created by my application. My dialog should act as a
host window for slideshow.

I hope its pretty much clear to you guys.

Thanks,
Ajay

OK, I've never tried to do this, but perhaps this will work for you (I'm
hoping Ali didn't already post this :o) It looks to me from the VB code
like it's just changing the PowerPoint's parent window to be that of the
form. This article talks about how to get that window handle.

But not very much helpful to me. I had already worked on this thing,
Setting parent didn't work out. I guess we need to something extra to
accomplish it.

Actually that's the one I posted in the ealier thread. The ones that you

I have been trying to put together an example for you, but the problem that
I have run into so far is the fact that the persentation is fullscreen, and
I can't figure out a way to change that setting.

Here is a sample.

http://www.learnstar.com/AliR/PowerPointSample.zip

The only problem right now is that the presentation window flashes on the
screen for a split second as a full screen window. I am working on that
part, but this should be a good start.
Run the sample exe and press the "Push me" button and you will see a two
page presentation in the middle of the dialog.
The example was written using VS 2003.

Thanks Tom. I just can't figure out how to keep the presentation from
showing fullscreen for a second. If you run the sample and press the
button, you will see it flash for a second.

I have been wondering if I can have it start offscreen first.

I tried a few ideas too, but I couldn't figure out how to hide the window
before starting it up. Maybe you could set the size to something really
small so the effect would be less?

Ali,
Fantastic !!!

I was only missing SetWindowPos function call. Seems my all problems
are solved. I also struggling with how to hide presentation form ,
still no success.

Ali
one thing more, In your example, you created you own slides first and
then run slide show. In my example, I am opening existing presentation
file and then run slide show. What happens in my my case, when I run
slideshow, ppt file is also opened in powerpoint window in background,
In your case it doesn't happen because you are creating slides on the
fly.
My question is how to hide powerpoint application running in
background that shows ppt file in design mode.
Still not success with full screen presentation form that appears on
screen for some time.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks,
Ajay

I was hoping that app.set_Visible(FALSE) would do the trick, but it pops up
a message box saying that you can't hide the application window! And
app.get_HWND() doesn't work either.

Anyway, seems like you will have to do it the same way as the persentation
window, using FindWindow.

I have PowerPoint 2003 on my system, I am sure the class name will be
different for other versions:

CWnd *pWnd = FindWindow("PP11FrameClass",NULL);
if (pWnd)
{
pWnd->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
}

According to this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/261997 the old one
is called PP9FrameClass. I guess you could put that in a loop.

All of this would make me a little nervous, what if the user has power point
open?

Here is another approach. You can set the title to a GUID that you generate
using app.put_Caption(....);
Then use EnumWindows to find the exact window, FindWindow wouldn't be
reliable because the title will probably be
"GUID - Persentation name".

You should have been a little more specific as to where you problem was.

I basically copied and pasted the code out of the links that Tom and I
posted a few days ago and changed 2 lines total to get it to work.

I tried that, but the only time that I could set the width or the height was
after the presentation was already up. :(

Hi
Please forgive me if I'm missing the point, I do that a lot these days.
I too have been looking at running poerpoint in a window.
I have looked at PPTVb and it works well until I tried to open a link to
another slideshow and it came full screen.
I then found that PPt setup allows you to open it in a browser frame but it
came with full functionality and I don't want users to edit the slides.
I've been working on embedding PPT in a webbrowser control (VB6) and that is
fine but when I link to a new show I loose the hyperlinks on the second slide
unless I scroll down and back up, then it is fine.
I cannot. however create the scroll event programatically.
I've tried windows.document.scrollto(x,y) but only get error messages, it
would seem only to work for a webdocument not ppt.

I don't know ifany of this help move the plot along.
Best wishes

Also make sure you don't have any calls to app.set_Visible(TRUE);

Ali,
Do you know how to advance slide manually ? Means my application will
have a button ( Next button) to advance slide maually.

Thanks,
Ajay

[AliR (VC++ MVP)]

CSlideShowView::GotoSlide(...) is the function you will have to call.

I fogot to mention that you will have to change the advance mode from 2 to 1

sss.put_AdvanceMode(1); // Use manual advance.

I changed the ssw variable to be a member of my class

CSlideShowWindow *m_ssw;

Then in the method where I start the presentation I used that variable to
start the presentation

sss.put_AdvanceMode(1);

m_ssw = new CSlideShowWindow(sss.Run);

Then in a button handler I put the following code.

void CPowerPointSampleDlg::OnBnClickedButton2()

{

CSlideShowView View(m_ssw->get_View());

View.GotoSlide(View.get_CurrentShowPosition()+1,0);

}

Don't forget to delete m_ssw when you are done with it.
You will also have to check and make sure there is a slide to advance to
before calling GotoSlide.

Hi Ali,

Could you please tell me how to detect "End of slide show" , I have
used Event sinking mechanism to get events of slideshow such as
SlideShowEnd
SlideShowNextSlide etc.

SlideShowEnd fires after you click on "End of slide show" black slide.
I want to get the event before next slide is "End of slide show"
I used SlideShowNextSlide to capture this event but it doesn't come up
for last slide.

Any suggestiions ?

Thanks,
Ajay
