Office Interoperation vs Process control

I would like to control power point slide show presentations from an
application. The presentations already exist and just need to be played. I
currently do it using a process and using the verb "Show" to run a slideshow
from my application. To my knowledge, I cannot retrieve any information about
the presentation properties for example, number of slides, slide duration
before automaticically going to the next slide.

I would like these pieces of information so that I can close a particulat
presentation precisely at the end of the show and possibly start another one.
I recently came across interoperation for office applications with C# .net
applications. I found I could get all the information i needed using a
PowerPoint object and surfing through the collections of a particular file.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a method or means to start the slide show
through my application using the interoperator between office and C# .net. I
was wondering if anyone had gone down this path or could point me to
technical articles about office interoperation for powerpoint in particular.
Any help would be awesome thanks.
 
Andrew,

This is about the best info I could find....

Event Generator 1.2
Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 and later versions support a lot of events. The
handler for these events can only reside in addins. The free Event Generator
addin redirects these events to the presentations.
