I'm trying to develop a Point of Purchase sign creator. The best way that I can think of going about this is using a powerpoint slide to create the POP.
The problem that I'm having with this is I can find pages after pages of information to open up a presentation, but I can't seem to find anything that'll let me open the actual powerpoint file for editing. The client will not need to make new textboxes or anything of that sort, but will need to be able to edit them.
Currently I'm using a web browser to view the ppt presentation but as I mentioned, it is merely a presentation.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.webBrowser1.Navigate("about.blank");
string path = "C:\\Users\\Test\\test.ppt";
this.webBrowser1.Navigate(path);
}
Thank you in advance
p.s. I do have Office Interop referenced in the project but it seems that everything is so situationally specific that I cannot find much information to help me out.
It would be good if you could provide a little more info on exactly how flexible the editing needs to be, and what version of PowerPoint you are targeting. From your question and approach you appear to be looking for access to all of the capabilities. This is not something that you are going to be able to do easily with your approach.
