Slide ID not showing Giving Exception

A

Abhishek

Hi!

I am facing a peculiar problem
I'll try and explain the problem to best of my ability.
I am working on the Timeline of a PPT.
I am putting the code below so that it becomes more understandable

for (int iSeq =0 ;iSeq<m_PPTSlide.TimeLine.MainSequence.Count ;iSeq++)

{

Effect sEffect= m_PPTSlide.TimeLine.MainSequence[iSeq+1];

SID=sEffect.Shape.Id.ToString(); --> This statement raises an exception
in the case of media objects , it executes perfectly in all other objects.

}




I need to store this information to extract the animationindex and the
animation type for all the shapes inserted on the slide.
What i cannot get is that if i can get all the information for al the other
objects why can't i get the information for the media as well
I basically need all the animation indexes, their animation type, and the
shape or media they are assigned to.
In case of media files it shows as the animation index as 1 or 0 or any
other value but does not display in the timeline.
Is there any other way i can achieve this
Please Help

Abhishek,
This is a known issue with the object model w.r.t media objects. You will
also find that there is no enumeration constant available for the Blink
animation.

Try working with .DisplayName instead of ID

Dim X as Long

For X = 1 to ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence.Count
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Timeline.MainSequence(x)
debug.print .DisplayName
debug.print .Index
End with
Next

I have already tried this . Though it gives me the display name but that
does not help much.
Since the display name is different from the Shapename so i am unable to
compare them
This method works for all objects but not for media objects
