library to include for MsoScaleFrom constants

How to make a powerpoint show in VB, and after show how to stop it?
o call a powerpoint presentation from vb:
Remark, the 5 seconds between each slide has to be defined in the powerpoint presentation self.

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Button Code -

Private Sub btnKernel_Click()

    Dim sFile As String
    sFile = "C:\3-box.ppt"
    Call ShellExecute(hwnd, "Open", (sFile), "", App.Path, 0)

End Sub

Another possibility: add a reference to the powerpoint object library in your project...

Dim appPPT As PowerPoint.Application
Set appPPT = PowerPoint.Application

Dim myPres As Presentation
Set myPres = Presentations.Open(FileName:="c:\My documents\pres1.ppt")
myPres.Windows(1).ViewType = ppViewSlideSorter

With ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings
    .StartingSlide = 2
    .EndingSlide = 4
    .RangeType = ppShowSlideRange
    .AdvanceMode = ppSlideShowUseSlideTimings
    .LoopUntilStopped = True
    .Run
End With

--> Display PowerPoint slide show within a VB form or control window

Hi Dhaest,

I programmed the second option, that is:

Dim appPPT As PowerPoint.Application
Set appPPT = PowerPoint.Application

etc.

The problem is: when I compile things like:

    With logo
        .IncrementTop 393.75
        .ScaleWidth 0.48, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
        .ScaleHeight 0.48, msoFalse, _
 msoScaleFromBottomRight
end with

VB complains that constants msoFalse,
msoScaleFromTopLeft and msoScaleFromBottomRight
are undefined.

I am not worried about playing the presentation, because
it will be played afterwards. The program is just to
building the presentation, not playing it.

I found MSPPT.OLB in my disk. Do I have to include it
as a reference or something like that?
I already included the Microsoft PowerPoint 10.0 object library (it was there when VB complained). Is this MSPPT.OLB another one?

Thanks,

rr.

instead of msoFalse use False or 0
instead of msoTrue use False or 1

Thanks OHDev2004, but what about the values of the MSOScaleFrom constants?
(msoScaleFromBottomRight, msoScaleFromMiddle, msoScaleFromTopLeft)

Thank you, OHDev2004

Ur welcome :)
