Embedding powerpoing in a windows form

[Aneesh Pulukkul[MCSD.Net]]

Hi,

I need the some of the functionalities of powerpoint(like wordart,
background template etc) in a windows forms application. Requirement
is to modify/customize the template/theme for letter/invitaions etc.
Is there any way to embedd powerpoint in a windows form. Alternative
is to add the required functionality using custom code,I think. Could
anyone suggest better methods/ solutions. Thanks in advance.

Aneesh,

You could try and make your form an active document host, but it would
require a huge amount of effort on your part (using COM interop). There
used to be an OLE Document control in VB6, but it was never brought over to
..NET.

Yeah I was asking about some OLE stuff that can be used in form as
we'd done in VB6.

Thanks Nicholas for the details.

Is there any WYSIWYG editor that can be used in windows form to
simulate the functionality of powerpoint?. I understand that we can
develop a similiar app, but due to time contraints I would need a
ready made one.

Thanks again.

Aneesh,

There is nothing I can think of offhand that does this. You could
create a user control in VB6 which exposes the OLE Document control and then
access that through COM interop (using an AxHost-derived wrapper).

Okay Nicholas, thanks for your time.

Im planning to send the datafrom windows app to powerpoint using VSTO
and get the updated data from PPT back to win form. Does
interoperability supports asynchronous calls?. Actually I would need
to capture the modified data from PPT once the user saves the data in
PPT. In that case it would be better to have async calls to check
whether user modification is completed.
