Mr. Magic

How can I run a PowerPoint presentation in a Windows Form? I don't need to
do anything except run it. I can't use the MS PowerPoint viewer because that
opens in a separate window.

TIA - Jeff.

I haven't tested this but:

Process.Start("PPT File Name");

should do it.

You could capture a "movie" of the presentation by means of a program
such as Camtasia Studio. The movie can then be played in various ways, for
instance, you could use a WebBrowser control embedded in the Form to display
a page that plays the movie.

Have you tried to open it in the webbrowsercontrol or the richtextbox?

If you go to that link and then try and download the object, it can't find
it. And I've been told that that object isn't supported by Microsoft
anymore.
