MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / December 2007How to know the history of played slides in VBA?
Hellow! I wrote a Macro myself for PowerPoint,and, in the program I want to know the history of played slides. How to get it? Thanks in advance! ----------------- An There is not built support to track slides. Here is an example of counting slide visits: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/202088  SignatureRegards, Shyam Pillai Animation Carbon: Copy/Paste/Share animation libraries. www.animationcarbon.com > Hellow! > I wrote a Macro myself for PowerPoint,and, in the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > ----------------- > An > Hellow! > I wrote a Macro myself for PowerPoint,and, in the > program I want to know the history of played slides. > How to get it? You'd have to write more macros to give you this information. PowerPoint doesn't maintain any history of played slides itself. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thanks! If Powpoint doesn't maintain any history of played slides, then how the last slide viewed slide could be replayed during the presentation using right mouse button. ---------------------------- an > Thanks! > If Powpoint doesn't maintain any history of played slides, > then how the last slide viewed slide could be replayed during > the presentation using right mouse button. That plays the previous slide in the presentation, not the last-viewed slide. They're usually, but not always the same thing. You can add an action button to play the last-viewed slide, but that's still not a history. Or rather it's a one-slide history. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve, Huh? Yes, there is a last slide played option on the right click menu. However, it is just that - the last slide viewed, click it twice and you are back where you started. It doesn't keep track of more than one slide back.

So I think,the history was kept by the PowerPoint. --------------------------- An An experiment! Create a five slide pres. On slide 1 a link button to 3 and on 3 a link to 5 From 1 link to 3 and from there to 5 Now right click > last viewed - goes to 3 as you would expect right click on 3 and last viewed - where do you end up?

If you think so, try it twice in a row. Go to, say, slide 10. Then to 8. Then to 12. Then back to 10. Rightclick, go to previous slide. Back to 12. Rightclick, go to previous slide. Now you're back at 10. If you really believe that PPT maintains a history, you can now keep yourself entertained for hours and hours. ;-) ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ I know (well thought I knew) there was no "log" Why in my experiment do I end up two steps back at slide 1 instead of 5 where I expected to be?

An, you're right, it does. My mistake ... I assumed that it works the same as a previously viewed action setting. It doesn't. It does walk back along a history chain. I'm not sure you can access the whole history, but it looks like the LastSlideViewed property of the SlideShowWindow.View might give you a link back to the previous slide. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thanks! Steve, I have tried it.using LastSlideViewed property could only goto sildes between current slide and the last viewed one. --------------------------------------- An > Thanks! Steve, > I have tried it.using LastSlideViewed property could only > goto sildes between current slide and the last viewed one. > --------------------------------------- Same here. LastSlideViewed seems to work the same as the Last Slide Viewed Action Setting, but not the RightClick version. Very odd. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ > Steve, > Huh? Yes, there is a last slide played option on the right click menu. Ah nutz. I have PPT set not to show the rightclick menu, so a rightclick just backs up one. But in any case: > However, it is just that - the last slide viewed, click it twice and you are > back where you started. It doesn't keep track of more than one slide back. Right.
