After much searching and digging. I have finally found a solution. First you must download the dsoFramer active x control from microsoft. After that we can code.
Place the Framer on the Form.
Add a reference to the InteropServices. ie.
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
Add this DllImport
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "LockWindowUpdate", SetLastError = true,
ExactSpelling = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto,
CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
private static extern long LockWindow(long Handle);
Add a button to the Form
and put this code in button click
Framer.FrameHookPolicy = DSOFramer.dsoFrameHookPolicy.dsoSetOnFirstOpen;
LockWindow(Framer.Handle.ToInt32());
Framer.Open(@”c:\Presentation1.ppt”);
Framer.Activate();
SendKeys.Send(“{F5}”);
Framer.BackColor = Color.Black;
LockWindow(IntPtr.Zero.ToInt32());
You now have a functioning slideshow inside of your form.
If you need control over the slideshow?????????
Well add a reference to you favorite Powerpoint Dll
add using PowerPoint = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint;
Define a variable
PowerPoint.Presentation pres;
In the button click add this
pres = (PowerPoint.Presentation)Framer.ActiveDocument;
It’s crazy but you would have to pay 999 from EDraw Office Viewer Component for this same functionality.
MEOUCH!!!!!!!
