In PowerPoint, how do I disable moving to next slide on click or keypress during slide show programmatically?
I have found quite a few results in Google, but all of them simply ask me to uncheck that particular option in the Ribbon. I need a VSTO/VBA way of doing this. My slides contain hyperlinks that will handle navigation between slides. I do not want to have other ways of navigation.
Also the following line didn't do the trick for me:
Pres.SlideShowSettings.AdvanceMode = PpSlideShowAdvanceMode.ppSlideShowManualAdvance;
OMG. Can't believe I found this so quickly. Here's the setting that serves the exact purpose I was looking for:
Pres.SlideShowSettings.ShowType = PpSlideShowType.ppShowTypeKiosk;
This will disable all kinds of keyboard and mouse navigation (including the navigation toolbar that appears at the bottom left during slide show). I am now be able to cruise through the show using my own hyperlinks.

How can this problem be solved?
I tried trying to fix it by poking at everything I see and saw the monitor selection option. I have 3 screens, I chose the main monitor. This was the reason.
I have a TabControl in a Form. I'm adding tabs programatically to it. The Multiline property is false, so when they don't fit the area, the left and right arrows appear. But the first couple of tabs are special ones, they should not moved to the left when the right arrow is clicked, they should remain where they are. Is there a way to do this, like pinning a tab in a browser?
I was thinkig about catching the event of clicking the tabheader arrows, and positioning the first tabs to their original location, but I don't know which event can handle that, and the repositioning would really work.
Thanks for any ideas!
I'm creating a powerpoint which has a contents page, I would like that contents page to have clickable links to other slides in the presentation. The problem is currently those links only work when I go full screen, is there a way which I can click the link without going full screen?
Thanks
As Steve says Links only work in show mode. To get them to work in edit the only way is to RIGHT CLICK on them and choose Open Hyperlink from the menu.
Links only work in Slide Show view.
If you go to Slide Show | Set Up Slide Show, you can choose "Browsed by an individual (window)"
Then the slide show window will be moveable/resizable and won't necessarily fill the screen.
If the problem is that your presenter(s) aren't putting the deck into slide show mode before they start presenting (meaning your links don't work in normal/edit mode), you could try one of these solutions:
Add a solid filled rectangle that fully covers your first slide and set any Entrance animation on it with the Trigger / On Click of set to this shape. Then write the text in the shape "Please press F5 to start this presentation". The shape will never be seen in slide show mode but is a polite reminder for your presenters when they open the .pptx file.
Save the deck in the .ppsx file format, forcing it to automatically start in slide show mode.
I've got some PowerPoint slides containing various pieces of custom animation (e.g. piece of text appears, pause, next piece of text appears, user clicks to show image). However, is it possible to add a macro so that the user could click a button and bypass all the animations to jump directly to the end state of the same slide? I know how to link a macro to a button, it's just the VBA itself that's the problem.
Thanks
Have you tried?
Sub JumpToEndOfAnimations()
Call SlideShowWindows(1).View.GotoClick(msoClickStateAfterAllAnimations)
End Sub
You can add a duplicate of the slide in its end state with no animations, hide it, then add an action button on your animated slide that links to the hidden, unanimated version of the same slide.
I want hyperlinks in the tooltips of my OSX application, which then link to the Help Book in various places. Is this possible?
No, a tooltip is always placed next to the mouse with no possibility to click on it. But I guess you could achieve the look of a hyperlink by using NSAttributedString, although I'm not sure if the tooltips render them correctly.
