PowerPoint VBA: How to access rehearse timings of animation objects

[udosch]

Hello,

I have a problem accessing timings for animated objects.

If you create an object and set the TriggerType to MouseClick
(msoAnimTriggerOnPageClick) the TriggerDelayTime is zero (which makes
sense BTW ...).

However if you rehearse a presentation PP not only records the Slide
timings but also the timings to start animations which are triggered by
mouseclicks .... but how to access these timings for animations?

As far as I can see these timings are not exposed as the TriggerType is
msoAnimTriggerOnPageClick ... but it must be stored somewhere. How to
access it?

CU,

Udo

It is stored in a slide level tag called TIMING. The contents of the tag
will look like this: |1.8|2.7|3 where | is the delimiter and the numbers
indicate the interval in seconds between each mouse click.

Great! This did the trick! Is there any reference about "standard"
tags. I assume there might be a lot of interesting stuff in there.

Thanks for your help.

That is about the only tag that I've known which is used by PowerPoint.
Producer also uses PowerPoint tags to store information.
