Posted this in the PowerPoint group before finding this group. So, if you have an answer, you don't have to answer the one over there 
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, but more-or-less unsatisfactory for a shipping product.
- 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.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks,
