MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008Toolbar-Buttons with colors
Hi I have to rebuild an existing add-in (.ppa), which creates a toolbar that helps to assign a certain color to an element on a slide. Each button of this existing add-in shows the (RGB-) color on it. How is this done? There are no additional grafics; the add-in is a stand-alone solution. Has somebody an idea, how I can create such a tool- bar with "RGB-colored" buttons? PS: Only the coloring of the buttons is my problem, not the code which runs when they are activated. Thanks for any help. Maybe a .ppa can be reconverted to a .ppt? Best Regards, George Hi George, The CommandBarButton object has a Picture property that is an IPictureDisp. You can use any Image object on a UserForm and get its Picture to assign to this Picture property of CommandBarButton. You also get the Windows GDI Handle to this Picture property of CommandBarButton. That is useful with Windows API to draw stuff on. - Chirag PowerShow - View multiple PowerPoint slide shows simultaneously http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Best Regards, George > Has somebody an idea, how I can create such a tool- > bar with "RGB-colored" buttons? Open a new presentation with no window (so it's not visible) Add a slide to it On the slide, add a rectangle and give it the RGB fill color you want, no outline Copy it Use .PasteFace to paste the image from the clipboard to your button face Repeat as needed, then close the invisible presentation ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Dear Steve Many Thanks. Build on your recommendations I was able to build a toolbar as given before. One last thing. When I Start with ... --------------- Presentations.Add WithWindow:=msoFalse ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=1, Layout:=ppLayoutBlank).SlideID --------------- ... a new slide is added to the open, allready existing presentation and when I close the "ActivePresentation", the Active Windows closes (not the invisible presentation). I think, I do someting wrong when opening a slide in the invisible presentation and closing this presentation again in the end. Can you help? Thanks a lot.

Can you help? Thanks a lot. I'd do it this way instead: Dim oPres as Presentation Set oPres = Presentations.Add WithWindow:=msoFalse oPres.Slides.Add (etc ... just as you're doing now) then when you're done: oPres.Close > Best Regards, George > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
