keyboard shortcuts

[Calin]

Hello

How can I obtain progrmatically, a list with the keyboard shortcuts assigned
to menus items, commands etc in PowerPoint (like Save, Close, Cut, Copy,
Paste etc.) ?

Any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks, Calin

Help, Keyboard shortcuts will give you all the shortcuts

Thanks.
But I need to get programmatically which shortcut it is assigned for a
command. For example : I need the shortcut assiged for Save command or for
Copy command etc. Is it possible ?

It is strange because in Word is very easy, also in Excel (I'm not very
sure).

regards, Calin

Calin,

I don't believe this is available from the PPT object model. Other than
going through it manually I don't know how you would get a list. If you can
explain what you are trying to do maybe we can offer some suggestions.

Thanks Austin. I was afraid of this. I searched all the properties and
methods from PPT object model in MSDN and I found nothing, but i thought
that maybe is an easy trick or something.

What I want to do, is to install a keyboard hook for the some PowerPoint
commands. Some of them can be handle in other ways because they also fires
PPT events, like Save - Ctrl+S, New - Ctrl+N, Open - Ctrl+O etc. but I don't
know how to do it in case of Copy - Ctrl+C, Cut - Ctrl+X etc. Do you have
any ideea ?

best regards, Calin

There is already a utility to assign keyboard shortcuts. Check out this

Otherwise, you will need to hard code all the Ctl shortcuts into your app.

Thanks for you help, but I already saw that tool. Unfortunatelly it is not
usable in my project. I think I'll go forward by hardcoding the shortcuts,
because I don't think that are changed very often (or I hope so )
