PresentationElapsedTime

[Jean99]

Hi,

I am writing an Add-In for Powerpoint which records the time when the user
goes to the next slide.
It seems that the counter used for PresentationElapsedTime stops as soon as
the user goes one slide back and resumes when the user goes to the next slide
again.
Did anyone else encounter this problem?
Thanks

PowerPoint does not add time when you revisit a slide. If you call the
ResetSlideTime it will continue to increment the PresentationElapsedTime.

Hi Jean,

If an off the shelf solution works for you, you may want to try one of my
free addins.

It records the time each slide and animation are cued and stores it in a
text file in the same folder. It also records some other details, but it
has a small processor footprint and does the job.

Of course if this is a self-learning project, forget I said anything.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I will try it out and see what is the best
solution for this Add-In.
