    Hello!

    I need to know the presentation name and presentation path when it changes. So I have created an event handler for PresentationBeforeSave event.

    This handler sets the cancel parameter to true and shows a save as dialog box:

    try{

                    cancel = true;
                    Microsoft.Office.Core.FileDialog fd = this.Application.get_FileDialog(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoFileDialogType.msoFileDialogSaveAs);
                    fd.Show();
                    this.Application.ActivePresentation.SaveAs(fd.SelectedItems.Item(1), Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpSaveAsFileType.ppSaveAsPresentation, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue);}

    catch(Exception e){}

     

    unfortunately I am getting a Presentation (unknown member) : failed exception message.

    Does anyone know hot can I obtain the name and the path of my presentation after a save as?

     

     

    Thank u

    Cheers

    Hi JulianaBooleana,

    If you just want to know the save path and name of the PowerPoint after save, you can use the code below:

     PowerPoint.Application powerApp;
    private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
      powerApp = this.Application;
      powerApp.PresentationSave += new PowerPoint.EApplication_PresentationSaveEventHandler(powerApp_PresentationSave);
     
    }

    void powerApp_PresentationSave(PowerPoint.Presentation Pres)
    {
      string pname=powerApp.ActivePresentation.Name;
      string path = powerApp.ActivePresentation.Path;
      MessageBox.Show(pname+" "+path);
    }
    Hope it helps.

    Best Regards,
