Stopping user Input from a Com Add-in

F

Frank Schwab

I have a problem.

I have a Com Add-In for PowerPoint (2000 and up). During Slide Show mode, I need to be able to disable user navigation for some slides, while another app pops up and takes user input. I've tried various things, and been unsuccessful -
- On receiving a SlideShowNextSlide event, I've tried not returning for the duration of the pop-up app. This works great - except PP isn't processing messages, so never repaints it's window. Cool effects when you drag the pop-up app's window around the screen.
- I've tried programmatically changing Presentation.SlideShowSettings.ShowType to ppShowTypeKiosk on the SlideShowNextSlide event - no dice. It appears that setting is ignored while in Slide Show mode.
