Powerpoint 2010 - vba - Slide Object - webbrowser

Question

This is a follow up question to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officegeneral/thread/da4e85ac-f220-4ac7-bd23-adccb25f9153

I establish i can sucessfully set the browser url in a slide by

slide6.WebBrowser1.Navigate (url)

The problem is this code needed the "slide6" to be hard coded. In the Slides object it can be referenced by oSlide.Name but this is the textual name, not the object itself.

>> I need a way to reference the slide6 object programmatically ? How is this done ?

I am using OnSlideShowPageChange() to fire every page change and i check if it is a browser page and set the url

Thanks!

Answer 1

OK I found a way and post for others, where oShape is the Shape within the slide object

                Set theObject = oShape.OLEFormat.Object
                theObject.Navigate (url)
                theObject = Nothing

Note that the .WebBrowser1 needs to be dropped, which kind of makes sense because it IS the object.

Cheers
