Hi,

Anyone knows how to implement PP presentations within Visual Basic 6?
I'm building an application with several functions. One of them is that it
must be possible to start, run and stop a PowerPoint presentation.
I don't want to build another PP viewer, but this is something for a program
that puts all kind of info on a beamerscreen. So, I don't want to leave the
program, but just have the availability to start a PP presentation.
Problem with the PP viewers is (97 and 2003 versions) that, as far as I
know, you can't let then present on the secondary screen. I haven't found an
option for that. If there is, then it is ease to use the viewer under VB,
just let the thing point to the second screen.
Any help would be appreciated.

Tanks in advance,
John

Hello,

It sounds that, although there are workarounds, you would like this to be a
lot easier to do with PowerPoint Viewer(?).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions for how to
make this easier to do in PowerPoint Viewer, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
