Hosting a MS PowerPoint Viewer insied a windows Form

1 New Member
Good day!
I have such problem.
I must play the PowerPoint presentation in my application. Several ActiveX components (f.e. EDraw Office Viewer) can do that but if the MS Office is not installed, they become useful.

So, I need a way to view the PPT/PPS file without Office installed.

The only application that can do this is MS PowerPoint Viewer (I`ve found only it at this time). But it doesn`t install/register any OCX that I can use in my application to view PPTs.

So the question is: is it possible to host the MS PowerPoint Viewer inside a Windows Form (at least)?

Any help appreciated.

PS the application is under development in WPF/C#.

Hi there, I am currently working on a project to display powerpoint presentations inside a .NET application. As I understand there is no such thing as a ole control which can embed powerpoint files. After searching the web I found a usable way by using a web browser control to display powerpoint documents. However, this only works if powerpoint is also installed. I tried it with the freely available powerpoint viewer, but with this...

I have read postings on the similar subject including the posting from 2003 shown below. This process works fine to display a single page snapshot report in PowerPoint. I need to display subsequent pages from the same snapshot file in subsequent slides in PowerPoint. I realize that it is possible to add VB code to the Snapshot Viewer Control and that there are properties such as .FirstPage, .NextPage, .LastPage, etc, But I can't find...

Hi, Does anyone know if there's functionality available in .NET (using C#?) to export data from a Windows Application into a PowerPoint file format? For instance, if I'd a form containing a bitmap image in my Windows App, I need to save that to a slide in the PowerPoint file. Any ideas/info is appreciated. Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm wanting to use VB.NET to display a powerpoint presentation, much the same way as the presenter that comes with PowerPoint (when used on multiple monitors). Basically, I want to show the presentation in one form/window, and in the other, have controls for moving through the presentation, list of slides, etc. I don't really want code as such, more like a tutorial on how to do something like this.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
