how to run Powerpoint slideshow inside a dialog

[Roland]

Hi All,
I am trying to display powerpoint slides in a dialog create by my
application.

if(m_pptapp.m_lpDispatch == NULL)
{
if(!m_pptapp.CreateDispatch("Powerpoint.Application"))
{
AfxMessageBox("Could not create Powerpoint object.");
return;
}
}

m_pptapp.SetVisible((long)1);

Presentations presentations;
SlideShowSettings slideshow;

presentations = m_pptapp.GetPresentations();
m_pptpresentation = presentations.Open("R:\\Internals.ppt",(long)0,
(long)-1,(long)1 );

slideshow = m_pptpresentation.GetSlideShowSettings();
slideshow.SetShowType(1);
slideshow.Run();

but it is not helpful for me

Could some flash some light on how to show powerpoint slides inside
dialog, Dialog should act as a container for powerpoint slides.

Thanks,
Ajay

Ali,
I want to run the presenation or attach the window of presentation to
the dialog or some window create by my application. I don't want to
just "Run" the presentation.

If you wanted to just "Run" it, then I would have told you to use
ShellExecute.

The articles that I pointed you to tells you how to embed the presentation
into your window using Automation. That means that it shows up in your
application.

what do YOU mean by attach?

You will need to use Automation and use PP's object model to do this.
All this involves using COM on your side(client). Its relatively
simple to do this in .Net as you avoid COM altogether.

I know, but I want to follow this one
http://skp.mvps.org/vb/pptvbwnd.htm
where slideshow window is inside a frame control.
Can I do somewhat like this ?

Thanks,
Ajay

Yes, you should be able to do this as well. Sample is using the PP's
object model and you can do the same in MF/C++. As I had mentioned
earlier, its much easier to do this in VB or .Net.
