[2008] Display powerpoint slides on form and run slides from form

The path can be anywhere as its a user choice. Dont rely upon defaults or you wil run into problems down the road. Never hard code in afile path.

..............

Nobody know?
If we are use Mads solution..
Is a way to autosize the powerpoint slide so that it fits within Panel1 ? Or size PPTVIEW window from command line?

ok, i do it myself :)
user must have PowerPoint in his computer. I do it in C#, not all commend is necessary ofkors and PrimaryInteropAssembly for Office must be installed. Remember to add Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint and Microsoft.Office.Core assembly to references.

Code:

---


public function ShowAtPanel(Panel panel)
{

string componentResourcePath = "C:\tmp\slide.ppt";

ApplicationClass PPApplication = new ApplicationClass();
//hide pp from taskbar
PPApplication.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = MsoTriState.msoFalse;

Presentation presentation =
                        PPApplication.Presentations.Open( componentResourcePath, MsoTriState.msoCTrue, MsoTriState.msoTrue, MsoTriState.msoFalse );

//presentation.SlideShowSettings.LoopUntilStopped = MsoTriState.msoCTrue;
SlideShowWindow slideShow = presentation.SlideShowSettings.Run();
//WinApi.SetParent it's my static function imported from winapi functions

//i don't know why when i must calibrate size
// 1 * panel.Height/Width don't look good :/
slideShow.Height = (int)( 0.85 * panel.Height );
slideShow.Width = (int)( 0.75 * panel.Width );
WinApi.SetParent( new IntPtr( m_slideShow.HWND ), panel.Handle );

//if slide show isn't "active" windows, it will be automatic paused..
slideShow.Active();
}
