hi,
Firstly
it feels great that many of the members here actually have written the
KB articles that i have found extremely insightful . Cheers to that !
im using VS 2005 ,and working on a windows applicaiton that opens
powerpoint files. I ahve stumbled upon the folowing problems :
1. no pIA 's for office 2000 . what do i do
2. i managed to use ildasm to try to generate my new powerpoint dll's .
as follows in VS command prompt of the projects bin/debug folder :
>> ildasm.exe /source Interop.PowerPoint.dll /output=Interop.PowerPoint.il
>> ilasm.exe /dll Interop.PowerPoint.il /output=Interop.PowerPoint.dll
This method was suggested to rebuild the Interop.PowerPoint.dll which
i reference in my project. But it dint provide any good as i got the
folowing error :
"Unable to cast COM object of type 'PowerPoint.ApplicationClass' to
interface type 'PowerPoint._Application'. This operation failed because
the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID
'{91493442-5A91-11CF-8700-00AA0060263B}' failed due to the following
error: Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D
(TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED))."
3.I hear that using tlbimp works to setup the files required to access the msppt9 object from windows 2000. how do i go about it
Is there any hope for a VS 2005 C# developer to access powerpoint 2000 from windows 2000 ,from their application without using the webBrowser control
4. i tried using the webBrowser control ,but wasnt able to capture the
click events when i load a ppt file. How do i override the pagedown
(next slide) event from the webbrower
Keep clicking,

Hi Bhasker.
I'm going to have to defer to the Powerpoint Programming Forum here, as I'm not sure of the recommended guidance for interop with Office 2000. http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.powerpoint&lang=en&cr=US.
Thanks.
