Retrieve Text from Slides.

[Guest]

I am dealing with creation of an application which will get the text from
powerpoint slides and then display it. I guess I will have to use automation
for that. But my main problem is how will I retrieve the text from the slides
of powqerpoint presentation into my application.
For eg. My application shud work like...when i click a button the
application shud pick up the text from the powerpoint slides. I m using
Powerpoint 2000 and VC++ 6.0

The coding on this page is in VB(I think...orC#) which I m not familiar with
at all.
Is there any place where there are VC++ Examples?

You could try a google search on

C++ automate powerpoint
C++ automating powerpoint

You'll find that most Office Automation examples are in VB/VBA though. If you have
to do a lot of this, you'll be time ahead if you work out how to make the
translation from VB examples to whatever your preferred language is.

We have a C++ coder or two around here. Maybe they can make some suggestions.

In fact, if anybody wants a page or two on the PPT FAQ to explain how they translate
from common VB/VBA to their favorite language, I'd love to be able to post it.

I don't know of any. Again, I can only suggest that you search Google for what you need.
