can VBA determine current timeline state within a running slideshow

[leef_me]

I'm using ppt 2002 or 2003

given:
mutiple screen setup, slideshow is running,
with the current slide stable (i.e. no repeating animation, waiting for
the next 'mouse click' to do the next animation.

question:
can a macro that is called from a toolbar button discern where in the
current state is within the slide's timeline sequence, within the
running slideshow?

simple example:
There are three objects on the current slide each with at least one
animation. Two of the objects have completed their animations.
(Or perhaps it is better to say some number of the animations of the
current slide have been completed.)

Can 'X of Y animations completed' be determined?

Thanks,

Leef_me

You cannot query on the current postion of animations. In 2003 you get the
next click event that tells you which animation is going to happen next,
that way you can ascertain where you are in the show.
