MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2007VB code
I need a Visual Basic for Applications code that will execute powerpoint custom animations. I'm creating a type of trigger that will carry out an animation when moused over, and not when clicked. As far as I know there's nowhere in the object model this can be done. Maybe with API calls? If you have no other animations on the slide it is possible to use vba to add a with previous animation with a mouseover action which will play straight away.

As John stated, there are no hooks in the Object Model to allow the start a trigger animation from code. However, it is possible with API calls to exactly place the mouse to a location and simulate a mouse click. By making the trigger shape just 1 or 2 pixels big, it is unlikely that the user will accidentally come across it. Use the mouse over action setting to activate a macro to fire the APIs to start the trigger animation. I don't know why she swallowed the fly ... This is not a beginner project, how are your VBA/API skills?

I'll shoot it over to you as time permits.

Then I assume that if I make many pixels with the same API calls with an action button underneath to simulate a click on the action button. I've worked quite a bit with Visual BASIC in VBA and also in Visual Studio, but I'm not familiar at all with API; I will have to look into that.o > As John stated, there are no hooks in the Object Model to allow the start a > trigger animation from code.
