I am developing an addin in PowerPoint 2003 using vs2008.
But now I get a problem. I want to add a new slide after the user selected
silde, but If the user just put the cursor between two slides without
selected one of them, then I could not know the new slide position in code.
I found if I put the cursor between two sildes, in the slide view pane, the
one before cursor is shown. How's this index got?


Thanks very much for your help.

Bingo. Thanks, Shyam.

FWIW, it might be useful to set the .ViewType to ppViewNormal instead of
ppViewSlide if in PPT 2000 or higher. Otherwise, when the user dblclicks
on
a slide in Sorter view, they go back to Slide view, something they won't
be
accustomed to seeing.
Click to expand...

That's correct.

If ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewNormal Then
'Check that it is not the master views
If ActiveWindow.Panes(2).ViewType = ppViewSlide Then
ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Activate
Debug.Print ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange(1).SlideIndex
ActiveWindow.Panes(1).Activate
End If
End If
