Title Text of a presentation

[Heinz-Dieter Janzen]

Guten Tag,

how can I find out the title text of a running presentation?
The reason I need it is that I want to activate it after starting a
VB-program,
which causes the presentation to stop and wait.

Thanks and regards
Dieter Janzen

Are you referring to this:

ActivePresentation.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Item("Title")

Severals ways to do this:
1. Get a reference to PowerPoint. Activate the Slideshow window
2. Get a handle to the window with class name 'screenClass' and activate
that window.

Thanks for the fast replies,
I wrote a little VBA-program to list all windows titles,
and found out, that the window title of a running presentation
is (translated from German) "Powerpoint Screen Presentation".

Again thanks
