Hello everyone,
does somebody knows how I can extract Bitmaps from a Powerpoint file (one
per slide)? I found some ressources which opens Powerpoint as application
and controls it programmaticall y. But I am looking for a way to do this
without the help of Powerpoint itself. Would I need a kind of a rendering
engine for this file format? Or are kind of "thumbnails " embeded inside if
such a file?
Will the "Microsoft Power Point 9.0 Object Library" help me or what is it
usefull for?
Thank you for any advice.

Sascha,
I would think that the powerpoint file format is something that is not a
publically known format, and because of that, would recommend going through
the object model that you found. If you have a piece of code that shows how
to do it, then we can probably show you how to do it in .NET.
And yes, you will have to use the Microsoft Power Point 9.0 Object
Library.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Nicholas,
I found code under http://devhawk.net/default.aspx?date=2004-03-10
the author opens the file in powerpoint in fullscreen mode and than produces
screenshots per slide. This is indeed not what I want since you can't use
the maschine while doing this.
Another Variant is
PowerPoint.Appl icationClass pptApp = new PowerPoint.Appl icationClass();
pptApp.Activate ();
Office.MsoTriSt ate obj = Office.MsoTriSt ate.msoTrue;
PowerPoint.Pres entation pp = pptApp.Presenta tions.Open("pat h of your
presentation",o bj,obj,obj);
PowerPoint.Slid eShowWindow slideShow = pp.SlideShowSet tings.Run();
Maybe I could call the "save as web pages". Anyway I use Powerpoint itself
to get my Bitmaps.
Going through the object model means extracting properties of shapes and
then Render it anyway. Is this what you ment? Or is there something like a
Slide.ExtractTo Image() Method. Where can I find the documentation of the
object model? http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...pptocOMMap.asp
seems like the OM of the Powerpoint Application itself rather than of the
Document.

Sascha,
As far as I know, the Powerpoint object model doesn't provide a way to
do this. Basically, you will have to use the recommendation that the site
makes.
Are you trying to display your powerpoint presentations on the web? I
thought that MS had a product that will take powerpoint presentations and
make them more web-friendly (I forget the name of it, but they put all the
presentations from Tech-Ed on the web)?
Also, given the dynamic nature of powerpoint presentations, it might not
be enough to just get snapshots of the slides (although for a good number of
them, it would be ok).

No. I want to display the list of Slides in my WinApp beyond each other.
Further I would like to Write a "Player" which can display single slides
among others and navigate with back-forward buttons. Third I need the
slides as Bitmaps so that FOP can process them to PDFs.
Have you any ideas left? What about the Clipboard?

Does anyone know if there is a reason to prefer bitmaps over icons (or
vice-versa) when populating image lists? I've always favored icons because
of their built-in transparency (although I've never use the invert "color").
But I've noticed that Microsoft seems to favor bitmaps in many of their
sample applications. Is there a reason? For instance, do icons clutter the
icon cache or require more system resources whereas bitmaps do not?
