How to interrupt timed build sequence programatically?

Hi there,

PowerPoint has just commenced a timed build sequence (building text
paragraph by paragraph at 20 sec intervals) on the current slide.

My C# app sends it a command to black the screen. This works.
My app later sends a GoToSlide command to un-black the screen and jump to a
different slide.

Unfortunately, when the screen is un-blacked, the build sequence on the
current slide continues from where it left off when the screen was blacked
out.

Is there any command I can send that will abort the timed build sequence
before (or even after) the screen is blacked so that when I send the
GoToSlide it will jump to the new slide immediately?

Any help would be gratefully received...

Michael,
If you send a goto slide command while the slide is displaying a black
screen, it automatically resumes the slide show on the directed slide.
