Hi Silvester,
This can be done with a little set-up, but it does not export to other
systems well. So, if you are setting it up on your computer to run as a
kiosk, than you can get it to work. Follow these steps for each computer
that you want to run the kiosk show on.
1) Import the music media to the local hard drive
2) Open Windows Media Player and make a playlist of all the music that you
want to play
3) Select the Repeat option
4) Save the playlist as "PowerPointPlayList" & close WMP
5) Create a new blank slide as the first slide in your presentation.
6) Open the control toolbox toolbar (View | Toolbars | Control Toolbox)
7) Hide slide 1
8) Insert a command button on slide 1
9) Double click the command button and make the code read like this:
======Begin Code==========
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Shell ("C:\Program Files\Windows Media " & _
"Player\wmplayer.exe /Playlist PowerPointPlayList")
SlideShowWindows(1).View.Next
End Sub
======End Code==========
10) Make sure the slide advances are planned and the show is setup in Kiosk
mode.
To run the show, open the ppt file and start it on slide 1. Click the
command button to start the music. It will loop continuously and
independently of what PowerPoint is doing.
Just as a note, after the trade how is done, you may need to start Windows
Media Player in order to stop the music playing.
Hope this does all you need.
