Rewrite of the PowerPoint UDF

[Andreik]

This works fine for me (PowerPoint 2019):

#include <PowerPoint.au3>

$oPPT = _PPT_Open()
$oPresentation = _PPT_PresentationNew($oPPT)
$oPresentation.ApplyTemplate("C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\LiveContent\16\Managed\Document Themes\<LocaleID>\<theme>.thmx")
$oSlide = _PPT_SlideAdd($oPresentation, 1)
Sleep(5000)
_PPT_Close($oPPT)

Edit: if you know what theme do you want to use when you create the presentation, just pass the path as second parameter to _PPT_PresentationNew().

worked beautifully thanks Andreik!!!!

Never had to work with themes. But I think you should simply apply an existing theme as described here.
Example:

$oPresentation.ApplyTheme("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\MyTheme.thmx")

Edit: Not fast enough

@water what's wrong with this UDF that didn't end up in standard AutoIt UDFs like excel or word? For me it looks pretty decent.

The Excel and Word UDFs have been part ot the AutoIt package for ages (at least  2008).
Some years later Jon/the Devs decided to not add more UDFs to keep the package small and easy to maintain.
So new UDFs (like the PowerPoint UDF) have to be published in the forum. Big advantage: You can fix bugs or add new functions frequently and release a new version every day.

I can live with manual downloading of UDF to gain the advantage of quick fixes. Thank you for clarification.
