vba start animation in powerpoint

[cyrille]

Hi all,

After a search trip over Internet,
I think that it is not possible to start a specific shape animation with VBA.
The only way is to use '.View.Next' command, so animations have to be sequencially played.

cannot we simulate a mouse click on a shape from VBA to start a specific shape's animation ?

if( foo = 1 )then
play animation(s) of rectangle 1 (like mouse click)
else
play animation(s) of rectangle 2 (like mouse click)
end if

thanks for you light ;o)
