Combo Boxes as Hyper Links

  • Thread starter Thread starter Rodney

Try this:

On a new slide, insert a command button, a listbox and a combobox.
View | Toolbars | Control Toolbar

Insert the code so that it looks like this:

================================
Option Explicit

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
' If there is something in the selection, try to go there
If Len(ComboBox1.Value) > 3 Then
ActivePresentation.FollowHyperlink _
Address:="http://" & ComboBox1.Value, _
NewWindow:=True, AddHistory:=True
End If
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Clear lists
ComboBox1.Clear
ListBox1.Clear

'Load Lists
With ComboBox1
.AddItem "www.yahoo.com"
.AddItem "www.pptfaq.com"
.AddItem "www.microsoft.com"
End With
With ListBox1
.AddItem "www.yahoo.com"
.AddItem "www.pptfaq.com"
.AddItem "www.microsoft.com"
End With
End Sub

Private Sub ListBox1_DblClick()
ActivePresentation.FollowHyperlink _
Address:="http://" & ListBox1.Value, _
NewWindow:=True, AddHistory:=True
End Sub

====================

The command button loads both the combobox and the listbox. Either
selecting from the combobox or double clicking on an item in the listbox
will take you to the listed website. Post back if this helps or if we might
help you further.
