MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / December 2007display powerpoint on three monitors
My setup consists of a laptop, a projector and an external monitor. I control the slideshow from the laptop and I need to display the powerpoint notes on the external monitor while showing the slideshow on the projector. So far my only solution has been to arrange the desktop so that the projector is above the laptop and the external monitor is to the right of the laptop. Then I use the powerpoint viewer to display the slides on the projector and stretch its control window so that the notes frame appears in the external monitor. The problem is that it requires too much setup so I want to write a program to display the notes page in a separate window. But how do I detect when the slide changes in Powerpoint? From the examples on the web, I can see how to control powerpoint, but I can't figure out how to write a callback, ideally in C++ 6. Or is there an easier way? Eamon, Have a look at this utility it may save you a lot of time trying to write you own http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html cheers TAJ Simmons awesome - powerpoint templates, http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com powerpoint backgrounds, free samples, ppt tutorials... > My setup consists of a laptop, a projector and an external monitor. > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > can't figure out how to write a callback, ideally in C++ 6. > Or is there an easier way? thanks TAJ, but its for use in a church, so the time spent programming is "free", but the cost of the software has to come out of donations. regards, Eamon > Eamon, > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > can't figure out how to write a callback, ideally in C++ 6. > > Or is there an easier way? Eamon, This explains how to write an addin that responds to events in PPT: Make PPT respond to events http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00004.htm I'm not sure how that would hook up with an app written in any other tongue, but it might help. If nothing else, it explains the events that you can tap into. > thanks TAJ, but its for use in a church, so the time spent programming is > "free", but the cost of the software has to come out of donations.
