$PropertyClass = $objpres.Presentations

$obj = $objpres.Add(True) ; Presentation obj

;========Main function==============

$objSlide1 = $obj.Slides.Add( $index, $layout)

Sleep(1000)

$objSlide1.Select()

Sleep(1000)

$objSlide1.Shapes.Item($intTextFrame).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "http://yahoo.com/" ;Set the hyper link

$objSlide1.Sharps.ActionSettings("PPmouseclick").action= "ppactionHyperlink"

$objSlide1.Sharps.ActionSettings("PPmouseclick").hyperlink.address = "http://yahoo.com/"

Hello Terry Huangqiuguang,

I seems to be a problem with PowerPoint. I check it direct in PPT 2003 with the following code:

Dim oPPT As PowerPoint.Application
Dim oPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim oSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim oShape As PowerPoint.Shape
  
Set oPPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
  
oPPT.Visible = msoTrue
  
Set oPres = oPPT.Presentations.Add(msoTrue)
  
Set oSlide = oPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
  
Set oShape = oSlide.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 10, 10, 256, 28)
  
'<Does not work>
'oShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "http://www.google.com"
'oShape.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Hyperlink.Address = "http://www.google.com/"
  
'<Automation error>
'oSlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "http://www.yahoo.com"
'With oSlide.Shapes(1).ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Hyperlink
'  .Address = "http://www.yahoo.com/"
'  .TextToDisplay = "http://www.yahoo.com"
'End With
  
oPPT.ActivePresentation.Save

No way works. At the next step I use the macro recorder and it generates the following code:

Activewindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Text Box 2").Select
Activewindow.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.TextRange.Select
Activewindow.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.TextRange.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=13).Select
Activewindow.Selection.TextRange.Text = "www.yahoo.com"
With Activewindow.Selection.TextRange.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Hyperlink
    .Address = "http://www.yahoo.com/"
    .SubAddress = ""
    .ScreenTip = ""
    .TextToDisplay = "www.yahoo.com"
End With
Activewindow.Selection.TextRange.Characters(Start:=21, Length:=0).Select
Activewindow.Selection.Unselect

This code works.

I know, this is not the solution of you problem but maybe a hint.

Cheers

Stefan

Hi, I have got the root cause and modify the function script as below. it is works. Thanks

$objSlide1.Shapes.Item($intTextFrame).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "http://yahoo.com/" ;Set the hyper link

$objSlide1.Sharps.ActionSettings("PPmouseclick").action= "ppactionHyperlink"

;==> change to

$objSlide4.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.ActionSettings(1).action= 7

$objSlide1.Sharps.ActionSettings("PPmouseclick").hyperlink.address = "http://yahoo.com/"

;===>change to

$objSlide4.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.ActionSettings(1).hyperlink.address = "http://yahoo.com.cn/"

because AutoIT can not recognize "PPmouseclick" and "PPactionHyperlink" but 1 and 7. this can be found in Power point VBA obj library

;===========end Main function========

Hello Terry,

here is another solution.

1. Code in VBA

Dim oPPT As PowerPoint.Application
Dim oPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim oSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim oShape As PowerPoint.Shape
  
Set oPPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
  
oPPT.Visible = msoTrue
  
Set oPres = oPPT.Presentations.Add(msoTrue)
  
Set oSlide = oPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
  
Set oShape = oSlide.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 10, 10, 256, 28)
  
oShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "http//www.google.com"
  
oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes(1).Select
oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.TextRange.Select
oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.TextRange.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Hyperlink.Address = "http://www.google.com/"
oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.Unselect

2. Code in VBScript (which can you call from AutoIt)

Option Explicit

Dim oPPT, oPres, oSlide, oShape

Set oPPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")

oPPT.Visible = True

Set oPres = oPPT.Presentations.Add(True)

Set oSlide = oPres.Slides.Add(1, 12)

Set oShape = oSlide.Shapes.AddTextbox(1, 10, 10, 256, 28)

oShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "http://www.google.com"

oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes(1).Select
oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.TextRange.Select
oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.TextRange.ActionSettings(1).Hyperlink.Address = "http://www.google.com/"
oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.Unselect

3. And last but not least the code for AutoIt:

Dim $oPPT, $oPres, $oSlide, $oShape
  
$oPPT = ObjCreate("PowerPoint.Application")
  
$oPPT.Visible = True
  
$oPres = $oPPT.Presentations.Add(True)
  
$oSlide = $oPres.Slides.Add(1, 12)
  
$oShape = $oSlide.Shapes.AddTextbox(1, 10, 10, 256, 28)
  
$oShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "http://www.google.com"
  
$oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes(1).Select
$oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.TextRange.Select
$oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.TextRange.ActionSettings(1).Hyperlink.Address = "http://www.google.com/"
$oPPT.Activewindow.Selection.Unselect

You see, it is very easy to translate a code from VBA to VBScript or AutoIt, it is nearly the same.

Cheers

Stefan
