Toady Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) This is a wrapper for PowerPoint. It allows you to have control of MS PowerPoint. At work I have to create presentations that are somewhat tedious. Therefor, since no one has tackled this, I suppose I would. So far I have the following functions. See them below. I'm in the process of adding tons more in my spare time. I have attached the PowerPoint include and an example that uses the include. Please comment on the progress I have made so far. I still haven't documented the include as of now but I will soon._PPT_PowerPointApp()_PPT_PowerPointQuit()_PPT_CreatePresentation()_PPT_PresentationAdd()_PPT_PresentationOpen()_PPT_PresentationSaved()_PPT_PresentationSaveAs()_PPT_PresentationName()_PPT_PresentationClose()_PPT_SlideCreate()_PPT_SlideTextFrameSetText()_PPT_SlideTextFrameGetText()_PPT_SlideTextFrameSetFont()_PPT_SlideTextFrameSetFontSize()_PPT_SlideCount()_PPT_SlideShapeCount()_PPT_SlideAddPicture()_PPT_SlideAddTable()_PPT_SlideAddTextBox()_PPT_SlideShowStartingSlide()_PPT_SlideShowEndingSlide()_PPT_SlideShowWithAnimation()_PPT_SlideShowWithNarration()_PPT_SlideShowLoopUntilStopped()_PPT_SlideShowAdvanceMode()_PPT_SlideShowShowType()_PPT_SlideShowRangeType()_PPT_SlideShowDisplayScrollbars()_PPT_SlideShowAdvanceOnTime()_PPT_SlideShowAdvanceTime()_PPT_SlideShowRun()_PPT_bAssistant()_PPT_SlideSelect()... more to come.PPT_Example.au3Powerpoint.au3 Edited August 2, 2007 by Toady BabyIT 1 www.itoady.com A* (A-star) Searching Algorithm - A.I.

ResNullius Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Haven't tested all the functions, but did run your example. Looks sweet Toady. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gseller Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Same here, looks cool.. I guess to add images you can just throw elements at it thru the example code? Nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calc0000 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 In response to my original question about the bullets (which has not been answered), I have written 3 UDF's that I believe should be added to the collection: expandcollapse popup;=============================================================================== ; ; Function Name: _PPT_SlideTextFrameToggleBullets() ; Description: Toggles bullet visibility in a specified TextFrame in a slide ; Parameter(s): $obj - Slide object ; $intTextFrame - Index of TextFrame on slide to toggle ; Return Value(s): On Success - Bullet visibility toggled ; On Failure - @error = 1, Returns 0 ; Author(s): calc0000 ; ;=============================================================================== Func _PPT_SlideTextFrameToggleBullets(ByRef $obj, $intTextFrame) If IsObj($obj) <> 1 Then SetError(1) Return 0 Else With $obj.Shapes.Item($intTextFrame).TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Bullet .Visible=Not .Visible EndWith EndIf EndFunc ;=============================================================================== ; ; Function Name: _PPT_SlideTextFrameGetBullets() ; Description: Gets whether or not bullets are being displayed on a specified text frame ; Parameter(s): $obj - Slide object ; $intTextFrame - Index of TextFrame on slide ; Return Value(s): On Success - True or False, depending on whether or not bullets are visible ; On Failure - @error = 1, Returns 0 ; Author(s): calc0000 ; ;=============================================================================== Func _PPT_SlideTextFrameGetBullets(ByRef $obj, $intTextFrame) If IsObj($obj) <> 1 Then SetError(1) Return 0 Else Return $obj.Shapes.Item($intTextFrame).TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Visible EndIf EndFunc ;=============================================================================== ; ; Function Name: _PPT_SlideTextFrameSetBullets() ; Description: Sets whether or not bullets will be displayed on a specified text frame ; Parameter(s): $obj - Slide object ; $intTextFrame - Index of TextFrame on slide ; $bullets - True or False ; Return Value(s): On Success - Sets bullet visibility ; On Failure - @error = 1, Returns 0 ; Author(s): calc0000 ; ;=============================================================================== Func _PPT_SlideTextFrameSetBullets(ByRef $obj, $intTextFrame, $bullets) If IsObj($obj) <> 1 Then SetError(1) Return 0 Else $obj.Shapes.Item($intTextFrame).TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Visible=$bullets EndIf EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

testJunkie Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Hi, I was looking to open an existing document using the _PPT_PresentationOpen() function. However, the operation fails, giving an error of : " The requested action with this object has failed.: Local $objPres = $obj.Presentations.Open($filepath) Local $objPres = $obj.Presentations.Open($filepath)^ ERROR " The code that I'm using is: " $objPPT = _PPT_PowerPointApp() If @error Then MsgBox(0,"","No PowerPoint available") Exit EndIf $objPres = _PPT_PresentationOpen($objPPT, $filePath) " It would be wonderful if someone could please inform me of my mistake / a solution to the problem. My exposure to AutoIt has been limited, making it difficult for me to debug this on my own. Thanks in advance.
