How can I change the shape selection on another slide programmatically?
For example:
My current selection is on the shape 5 (the shape with id = 5) of the slide 3. How can I switch the selection on the shape 6 (the shape with id = 6) of the slide 2 programmatically?
Note: I am writing code in C#, VS Ultimate 2013, PowerPoint 2013

you can use VBA to hide shapes: VBA PowerPoint Display and Hide Shapes
But can you hide shapes randomly on a slide (all but one specific)?
I don´t know how to make a random on a
ActivePresentation.Slides("Slide1").Shapes("Rectangle 1").Visible = False
I aspect, that i can hide a random shape on the actual slide by click(the Shape must have to be a visible shape before, so that another start of the code does hide randomly the next visible shape and not the hidden shape again).
I hide the toolbar, however need, fill the color menu. Whether possible to create a shape as the button with color and fill the selection shape into range selection cell from mouse
I have plane provide 3 different colors by using shape as a button, example Blue, Red and Black and if I select B:1 or A23 and click one of three colors shape the select range will fill by the same color. ( When I select range cell B:1 then click Red Shape, the cell B:1 will fill with Rd Color.
In an X-Y scatter plot, I manually add text labels to data points via Point.DataLabel. Unfortunately I find that when points are crowded then it can be difficult to tell which series a label belongs to. Therefore I want to color my text labels to match the markers.
I am happy with the default markers and their colors, but unfortunately they contain MarkerForegroundColor = -1 and MarkerForegroundColorIndex = 0, no matter which series I look at. Furthermore, Application.ActivePresentation.ColorSchemes is empty. I note that point.MarkerStyle = xlMarkerStyleAutomatic.
I found that the colors correspond to the accent colors in the active Theme (only available in PowerPoint 2007 onwards):
presentation.SlideMaster.Theme.ThemeColorScheme.Colors(MsoThemeColorSchemeIndex.msoThemeAccent1 + series_i % 6);
I have a PowerPoint presentation in which some slides contain multiple shapes for the user to click on.
I want to capture which shape is clicked. I am able to capture if shape has test on it using macro but what if it shape contains any image?
Every shape on a slide has a unique ID property that you can examine to determine which shape is selected.
Or you can add a tag to the shape beforehand:
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Tags.Add "MyName", "MyValue"
then
If ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Tags("MyName") = "MyValue" Then
' Whatever
I need to crop an image on a Powerpoint slide using VBA - in my particular case I'm cropping from the top and left edges.
Can anyone offer any advice?
The following commands will crop 10 points off of each edge of the shape:
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1)
.PictureFormat.CropLeft = 10
.PictureFormat.CropTop = 10
.PictureFormat.CropRight = 10
.PictureFormat.CropBottom = 10
End With
Note that this will crop shape number 1 on slide 1. If you want to crop the currently selected shape, use the following as the first line instead:
With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
