Accessing PowerPoint 2007 charts

[Alice Graham]

For Excel 2007, I have a vsto c# addin that calls the ApplyChartTemplate
method on a chart object.
I thought it would be possible to do the same in PowerPoint 2007 as all
documentation says PP charts are now the same as Excel charts.

In Excel, I access the chart as:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Chart chart =
Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveChart;

How do I access the active chart in PowerPoint 2007?

How do I access the active chart in PowerPoint 2007?

Unfortunately, charts aren't exposed via the object model in 2007.

Thanks.

Seems a bit rubbish. One of the big things that seems to be being promoted
for Office 2007 is the ability to use the same charts across the apps.
This is actually a negative thing if you cant do programmatically in Word
and Powerpoint what you can do in Excel.

No argument. I doubt MS considers this a feature; more like something that it
couldn't finish in time to ship.
