Embedded PPS Presentation In a GUI

[EKY32]

Hey there, I've searched the forum for that, i found >PP UDF and  was so great but I couldn't find a way to embedded the PowerPoint file in a COM object in a GUI, and even in an IE Object i had to use Microsoft offer and Google offer, but I need to do view the ppt file offline if AutoIt can embedded the file same as IE or SWF..

thank you always..........

Im a beginner 

and the beginner idea is convert the ppt file to avi and use it in autoit

Thank you, the pps file has interactive contents that the user should work with, I saw many many other ways on the internet but all the ways are not powerful and should be used online.

You could give GUICtrlCreateObj a try and see if you can embed the PowerPoint object (created by the PP UDF) the same way as the IE object is embedded in the example script provided by the help file.

Thank you, i tried that, the object is created but not viewed in the GUI, and when i use $objPresentation.SlideShowSettings.Run.View it appears in a new PP window so if what i want is not possible i think there is a way to attach the pp window into my GUI.

well, here is the full PowerPoint Object Model Documentation in MSDN but i'm not sure i can find it in this professional mass.

Can you post the script you used?

Ok here is it, just simple as you see but need to be configured in a better way:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$PPS = ObjCreate("PowerPoint.Application")
GUICreate("Embedded PPS control Test")
GUICtrlCreateObj($PPS, 0, 0, 200, 200)
GUISetState()

$PPS.Presentations.Open("C:\Test.pps")

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSelect
WEnd

I tried but was unseccussfull too. Maybe the problem is described in the Remarks section of GUICtrlCreateObj:
 

"This function attempts to embed an 'ActiveX Control' or a 'Document Object' inside the GUI.
Not every control can be embedded. They must at least support an 'IDispatch' interface."

Use COM error handler for debugging while developing and you will get all the answers.

GUICtrlCreateObj returns:

E_NOINTERFACE - No such interface supported - 0x80004002

Looks like you can't do what you want to do with GUICtrlCreateObj.
