My First PowerPoint Addin
JohnBury 16.09.2006 11:10:02
I am thinking about automating a task I do often by writing an AddIn.

I am stuck right at the first hurdle!

At the time I am building my slideset, how can I identifiy, in my code,
which slide is currently being edited?

Regards

It will help if you explain what you want the addin to do.

Probably something like

Sub dosomething()
With ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange
'Do something
End With
End Sub

Though

Did that answer the question / help?

I want to try and do what Swiff Point Player does and 'simplify' inserting
Flash Animations into PowerPoints. I know Point Player is free (I use it at
home) but for some reason it causes PowerPoint to crash in a variety of ways
on my work laptop and I have no response from GlobFx about the problem.

So, during the development of PowerPoints, I want to be able to click on a
menu entry, to 'Insert Flash', insert the shockwave flash OCX into the
current slides, invoke a dialogue box to browse for the '.swf' file and set
some default properties for the control

Thats kind of it really!!
