[CLOSED] Powerpoint slide inside VB

[PaPPy]

i have searched and i have not found anything conclussive to help me with what i need to pull off

i know it is doable because the technician pulled it off with vb6 about 6 months ago

this is what i need to do
load a slide show inside the vb window and then exit out in 7 seconds
in FULL screen mode
also there can be no interaction (kiosk mode) no right clicking, no controls shown

what this is being used for is to show advertisment at logon

any help is much appricated, thx

Is this for use on your own system or ?

Yes, it can be done but PowerPoint needs to be installed on the system.

[PaPPy]

this will be done on a domain level with every computer SHOULD have powerpoint installed
but some have to login and install it off of a shared location

[RobDog888]

All you have to do is create a standalone powerpoint slideshow and execute that. The fullscreen settings and right click are handled in PP.

[PaPPy]

and then just at 7 seconds just use a sendmessage to close the window?

[RobDog888]

No its all configurable in PP. You can set your slideshow timings and stuff in PP before exporting it as a standalone.

im trying but not finding these options under setup show

[RobDog888]

Here is some code that will show a show and end it.

With ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings
        .ShowType = ppShowTypeKiosk
        .LoopUntilStopped = msoTrue
        .ShowWithNarration = msoTrue
        .ShowWithAnimation = msoTrue
        .RangeType = ppShowSlideRange
        .StartingSlide = 1
        .EndingSlide = 1
        .AdvanceMode = ppSlideShowUseSlideTimings
        .PointerColor.RGB = RGB(Red:=255, Green:=0, Blue:=0)
        .Run
    End With
    SlideShowWindows(Index:=1).View.Exit

still no working. im saying powerpoint sucks and just taking a screen shot of the slide and displaying it full screen in the program and having the program exit after 7 secs

[PaPPy]

work decided to buy a program that does this and produces an exe with the slide full screen display for x seconds and exit

so im placing my problem as being closed (unfortunitly)
