I need to check(in powerpoint 2003 only) that weather a particular slide
contains any background or not....
I tried using the following code :

if (objApp.ActivePresentation.Slides[2].Background != null)

but it is giving non null value even for the slide in which nothing is
present in the background.
Please suggest me a way to do it.
 
Hi Steve,

Thanks for replying.
What I exactly want to do is to extract the image of the background of the
slides in a particular powerpoint presention.
The background when applied individually to all slides gives proper result
with the following
".Background.Fill.Visible property"

But when I apply a particular background to all the slides then this method
seems not to work. Even I tried .FollowMasterBackground then it was giving
the black images for all slides.

Thanks again for replying

There's always some sort of background, even if it's only blank white.
What exactly are you after?

There are several properties/methods of Slides that may be useful:

.FollowMasterBackground ' Boolean
.DisplayMasterShapes ' Boolean
.Background.Fill.Visible ' Boolean
.Background.Fill.Forecolor.SchemeColor ' Long
or
.Background.Fill.ForeColor.RGB ' long
.Background.Fill.Transparency ' single
.Background.Fill.Solid

I tried using the following code :

if (objApp.ActivePresentation.Slides[2].Background != null)

but it is giving non null value even for the slide in which nothing is
present in the background.
Please suggest me a way to do it.
