I am currently trying to change some settings in a .pptx files via C# and Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint
. I have some .wmv movies linked on several slides of the presentation. At the time the presentations were created, all movies play as soon as they are clicked. However, I want to change this to start automatically playing as soon as the slide is viewed. This this has to be done to a lot of presentations, so there is no way to do this manually.
I found the PlaySettings.PlayOnEntry
property, but I can't figure out how to use it. I found several examples how to do this with a new movie to be embedded (and then, only for Visual Basic), but since the movies are already embedded, this is not what I want.
I also have no idea how I can actually access any objects on the current slide, maybe there is a way to check if a shape is a video-file and then change above setting, but the MSDN-Reference is not very helpful on Office-Topics. I'm using Powerpoint 2007 and Visual Studio 2010 if that matters.
@Lennart's solution is part of it, you then need a page trigger
Got it. Searching through all shapes of the Presentation and filtering out the movies works:
