    PowerPoint Object Model

    I've finally figured out how to get a PowerPoint presentation running through VB. What I'd like to do is somehow find a way to get the running presentation and put it in my form, rather than running in the PowerPoint window or fullscreen. Any ideas?

    Eventually, I'm aiming for an app that runs fullscreen with part of it given over to a PowerPoint presentation, if anyone knows of a shortcut to that?

    Have you tried planet source code ?
    One approach, now I don't know if this would work, but could you try using the web browser control to display the presentation ?

    How about embedding your presentation in an OLE object?

    The way you get a presentation to run in a window is inside powerpoint. click on the Slide Show menu and Set Up Show. Inside that option window click the option box 'Browsed by an individual (window)' and ok. Insert a OLE object on your form. click 'Create from file' and select your ppt.
    That should do it. (at least for the picture in a picture part).
