PowerPoint Thumbail

[RIC_V]

Does anyone know how to show the slides of a power point presentation as a Thumbnail on a Dialog app? Is that possible?

Thanks in advance.

CString strFileName;


TCHAR szFilters[]="PowerPoint Files (*.ppt)||";

CFileDialog fileDlg (TRUE, "ppt", "*.ppt",

OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST| OFN_HIDEREADONLY, szFilters, this);


if( fileDlg.DoModal ()==IDOK )
{
strFileName = fileDlg.GetPathName();

CoInitialize(NULL);

_Application m_ppt;

if(m_ppt.CreateDispatch("PowerPoint.Application"))

{

COleVariant var;

Presentations presentations = m_ppt.GetPresentations();

presentations.Open(strFileName,0,0,0);

var = presentations.GetCount();

_Presentation pre = presentations.Item(var);

Slides slides = pre.GetSlides();

var = slides.GetCount();



//Copy the lastest thumbnail to clipboard

_Slide slide = slides.Item(var);

slide.Copy();

m_hBitmap = NULL;

}

else

{//Can't find the powerpoint

TRACE("CreateDispatch Error\n");

ASSERT(0);

}

CoUninitialize();
}

else

{//Select no any one .ppt

}

That was an old project I was working on. At that time I ended up given up and forget about the thumbnail thing.

I'll try andlet you know!!
