Image loader for Powerpoint... is this the right scripting to use?

1 New Member
Pretty basic... well maybe it is in visual basic I don't know, can you help?

Can I use as a string in visual basic to automate a powerpoint; to take on multiple (5) images from a folder location - (usb stick).. and how do I program power point to do this.. does the script work on a cd on loading the presentation, or does it reside in powerpoints architecture... ?

Do you know a script to do this?

Well, yes it's possible using the VBA of your PPT, and should be easy if the images have the right name (e.g. MyPic1.jpg, MyPic2.jpg...My Pic5.jpg)
so we can use a FOR:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. dim i as integer
  2. for i = 1 to 5
  3. ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.addpicture(FileName:="C:\myPath\MyPic" & i & ".jpg").Select
  4. next
Something like that should do.

I'm trying to read in a FITs image file for my research, and I decided that writing a file decoder for the Python imaging library would be the easiest way to accomplish this for my needs. FITs is a raw data format used in astronomy. Anyway, I followed the example in the PIL documentation online, and I also had a look at the FITs image stub file included with PIL 1.1.5. I cooked up something that should work (or nearly work), but I keep...

okay, the scenario: i have a header image which changes randomly across all pages in the site. that works fine. i also have an image preloader within the random header picker which theoretically loads the header image before the rest of the graphical content on the page. however, what appears to be happening, judging by the status bar messages, is that the banner always loads last. here's the random header code -

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.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
