Looking for ActiveX Tutorial

[Gato_de_Botas]

I am reading the great book from David Marcovitz about the usage of VBA in
Powerpoint.
Also I would like to study the activeX controls for using in the same way in
Powerpoint, I mean making tests, quiz etc.

But it is hard to find tutorials about using ActiveX in Powerpoint, I found
some tutorials that does not cover the use of ActiveX in PowerPoint.

If you know a book or tutorials in internet, please tell me.
Thanks!

Have you looked in the Programming PowerPoint section of the PPT FAQ
(http://www.pptfaq.com)? I'm not sure if what you seek is there, but it
is the best place to start. Sorry that my book doesn't include this
stuff. If I were to write it again or come out with a second edition, I
would probably add a chapter about it. The basics aren't that difficult,
but it is quite a bit different from using regular shapes.

That's good information, but I think that is more/different information
than the OP wanted. He is looking to use control text boxes and control
buttons within PowerPoint in place of AutoShapes and the InputBox
command in VBA.
