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.

Button bifurcates!
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.
Setup
I have an Excel VBA UserForm with an Image Control element. When clicking on buttons in the form, the Image Control's Picture source is set / updated with the following code:
Set MyForm.imgControl.Picture = LoadPicture(pathToFile)
Problem
When the user clicks on the Image Control, updating its Picture source doesn't work anymore. The problem occurs, no matter when in the workflow the Image Control is clicked:
Example 1: User clicks a button to set the Picture (and pictures sets correctly). User clicks on Image Control. User clicks a different button to change the Picture -> displayed picture doesn't change.
Example 2: User clicks on Image Control right after Form load. User clicks on button to change the Picture -> displayed picture doesn't change.
If the user never clicks on the Image Control, everything works perfectly smoothly. It's worth noting that clicking on the Image Control doesn't visibly focus it.
Question
Clicking on the Image Control shouldn't make a difference in whether or not the Picture can be updated or not. How can this be done? Or, at least, does anyone know why the explained behavior is happening, or is it just a bug?
The Control does have Click / MouseDown / ... events (which are empty), but they don't take a Cancel parameter.
It does sound like a bug, as you say, but as a workaround, I'd suggest forcing a repaint after changing the picture:
Set MyForm.imgControl.Picture = LoadPicture(pathToFile)
MyForm.Repaint
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.
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.
Using Visual Studio 2005 (vb.net) (windows forms) on Windows XP, I have a standard Microsoft TabControl.
A button click adds/removes an image from 1 of the Tabs.
Seems like the image is placed OVER my tab's text, making it unreadable.
Why isn't it like it should be: Image on the left. Followed by text on the right.
Why is the image being placed OVER my tab's text? Do I need to do some kind of "refresh" or "redraw" before it will appear as it should?
I don't see any way to "make the image appear on the left edge of the tab". (NOT the tab-page.) ... and then place the text just to the right of the image. (Just like a normal image+text tab can do.)
The code is pretty simple, it just gets an image from my ImageList:
cfgTab.ImageKey = "PadLockClosed.png" ' Show CLOSED PadLock
The tab's text changes from:
This is my tab text
to:
T(IMAGE HERE)is my tab text
The image appears OVER the beginning of my text. But if I move to another tab, then move back, the image appears in the correct position:
(IMAGE HERE) This is my tab text
You can use docking and anchoring on your Control property so it will be placed according on what you want it to display.
