VC++ office automation Books?

[Rodger Fromm]

Are there any books out there that outline how to do all the functionalities
of powerpoint (and the other office applications) within a vc++ environment?

I am able to do the basic stuff, but i would much rather (as would my boss)
be able to read a book on how to do everything and then program it, rather
then do it all trial and error.

All the books i come across seem to be VB, the problem with that being that
i have to have this all working in an entirely vc++ program.

I almost feel dirty having to ask where to find a book on something, but i
have looked and looked and have found nothing. So if anyone stumbles across
one, please please let me know.

thanks

For PowerPoint, you'll be lucky to find a book that covers automating in VBA;
you'll probably need to translate that to C++ on your own.

Sometimes the most efficient way to work with it is to program in VBA within
PPT itself until you have the code working, then move the code to some other
language/application.

I'd start here and follow some of the links given in subsequent pages:

well guess i will just have to write my own book as i learn and figure
everything out.

thanks for the link.
