Return control/activation to "super/caller presentation"

[Lars Kjærsgaard]

Hi,

I am trying to make a high degree of modularization of some big product
presentations. That is, I try to have many small presentations which makes up
"the whole presentation". I execute (opens and runs) the "sub-presentations"
by "Mouse_Over" some buttons.

Until now it is okay, but, my next knowledge-hole is: How do I handle the
control back to the "super-presentation" and makes this presentation the
active?

Thank you in advance.

Simply close the overlaying presentation (using the action setting to
hyperlink to end show) and the next one beneath it (previous slideshow)
should become the active one.

Thank you Bill.

That is what I do - close the presentation "beneath". As you describe, the
overlaying presentation becomes the active. But the overlaying presentation
is shown is in "design-mode" - I would like to goto the presentation "in
presentation mode". The overlaying presentation actually runs "in
presentation mode" - but how to activate it?

Hi Lars

Are you using a mouseover hyperlink to "other powerpoint presentation" and
an "end show" button on this presentation?

When I do this it does return to show mode in the original show as Bill says

Hi John,

and thank you very much for replying.

Yes, I use a mouseOver hyperlink to the presentation "beneath".

To be honest, I have not thought of this solution having an "End show"
button. But, my thoughts have been that, I would like to ensure the
presentation could be "done" with the "ESC" key og simply finished above the
last slide. Therefore, I have written a little WithEvents Class where the
event "SlideShowEnd" is fired.

Private Sub pptApp_SlideShowEnd(ByVal Pres As Presentation)
Pres.Close
End Sub

I do hope it makes sense ;-)

Ahhhh.

Why not use the Mouseover Action setting Hyperlink to End Show, rather than
the Close Presentation command?

Might make your life a tad easier.
