hi
i want to create a powerpoint addin. with that i want to
do the following tasks.
a) i could specify a shared file (a text file or so) in a
computer connected in LAN
b) while i run the slide show and click next slide
(single mouse click) then i could sent some trigger to
that file.

i referred to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q2
22/7/37.ASP&NoWebContent=1
which creates a powerpoint addin to change the view to
slidesorter view and i was able to do that.

can when give more information about powerpoint addins
with respect to my requirements

regards

hello

I want to write the slide number to the text file while
the show is running.when a new slide is clicked the old
slide number should be erased and the text file should
contain the new slide number.

Before that i have to select the shared file location and
name from powerpoint. (the open dialog box should be
displayed with which i can select the name). can it be
done with the macro or will i have to go for com addin.

hello

In the reply u gave, i have to set the action settings to
run a particular macro . i don't want the user to do this.
i have to do it programmatically.

To capture slide show advances w/o a click on a shape, you'll need to do
event handling.

One number is all you're storing, you don't need to erase the number, just
erase the file.

Kill(strMyTextFile)

To create the file in the first place, this has a workable example:

Export Slide Number and Title Text to a text file

A macro can call the Windows common dialog, which should be all you need.

Start here: www.mvps.org
I know there's some example code for this on Randy Birch's VBNet site.
