MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2007How to embedd Power Point Design Templates to Windows Form in Dotn
I need to embedd Power Point Design Templates to Windows Form in Dotnet, C#. The requirement is that I need to have a Design Template in my custom windows form similar to PowerPoint. Is it possible to embedd the PowerPoint slides in the Dotnet Application. > I need to embedd Power Point Design Templates to Windows Form in Dotnet, C#. > > The requirement is that I need to have a Design Template in my custom > windows form similar to PowerPoint.

If you just need the graphics, you can export any PPT slide to a PNG, JPG or the like and use that as a b/g for your form, for example. Other than that, I'm not sure what you'd do with a PPT template embedded in your app; seems to me you'd then need to embed PPT to do anything with it, no? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thanks for the immediate reply. The actual problem is that I need to design and modify layouts from a Windows form. The application is actually a designer(eg : like a WYSIWYG Editor embedded in ASP.Net Pages) where I will have a form that incorporate a editor(Currently I need a PowerPoint Template) which can edit text and pictures. So the requirement being a PPT embedded in the Windows form so that I can design a template from the Windows form itself > Thanks for the immediate reply. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > So the requirement being a PPT embedded in the Windows form so that I can > design a template from the Windows form itself Do you intend to duplicate PPT's functionality or do you plan to automate PPT to do the editing? If the latter, do you understand that MS doesn't support automating PPT on the server and attempting to allow multiple users to use a single copy of PPT is probably in violation of your license. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ I would like to either duplicate the PowerPoint functionality into the Windows form or embed the PowerPoint Design into the Windows form.

I'm not sure what "embed the PowerPoint Design" means to you. If you expect a user to be able to edit it, then you'll need to automate PowerPoint in some way. The design itself is a) just a graphic, a picture of what it would look like in PowerPoint or b) a binary data file that's useless unless you have PPT there to interpret and render it for you. Or if it's in the new XML format your app can read at least portions of it and do whatever you need to with it. You'd need to rewrite whatever parts of PowerPoint you need in order to do this. Good luck. < The > Windows form will be residing in a System which has Microsoft Office OK, but did you read my other comments about automating Office on the server?
