Hi Harry,

Thanks for the reply.

This helped me how to create Commandbar and CommandbatButtons. Now I added a Shape(msoShapeActionButtonCustom) to the PowerPoint Slide. How can I define or listen the actions or events for the created shape. Please help me.

Hi Harry,

Thanks for the reply. The articles are very good, but they are talking much about the commandbar and commandbar buttons. I would like to know how to handle the events for "Shape on the Slide". Here is my code,

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using PowerPoint = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint;
using Office = Microsoft.Office.Core;

namespace AddTextAddin
{
    public partial class ThisAddIn
    {
       
        void Application_PresentationNewSlide(PowerPoint.Slide Sld)
        {
           PowerPoint.Shape textBox = Sld.Shapes.AddTextbox(
                Office.MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0, 0, 500, 50);
            textBox.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertAfter("is text was added by using code.");
           
           
            PowerPoint.Shape pt = Sld.Shapes.AddShape(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoAutoShapeType.msoShapeActionButtonCustom, 100, 100, 100, 100);
            pt.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertAfter("Voting");
           
        }
       

        private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Application.PresentationNewSlide +=
    new PowerPoint.EApplication_PresentationNewSlideEventHandler(
    Application_PresentationNewSlide);
        }

        private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
        }

        #region VSTO generated code

        /// <summary>
        /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
        /// </summary>
        private void InternalStartup()
        {
            this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Startup);
            this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Shutdown);
        }
       
        #endregion
    }
}

In the above code I have generated a Shape "pt" on the Slide, now I would like to handle the events for that shape. How can I handle the events for the shapes. Please help me.

Hi,

As far as I know , the events of shapes are not supported.

You might want to post to the newsgroup to see if these events can be used:
