Has anyone found a way to show a powerpoint (ppt) slide show?
- best would be to read in ppt file somehow and animate through wx each of
the slides in the file.
- next best would be to launch the powerpoint application and display the
screen in wx.
Does PowerPoint have an ActiveX control?
- lastly which is the most work, is to convert in gif and animate. For
this, is there a way to animate the gif, full window, like a screensaver?
There is the AnimationCtrl, but I wouldn't use that for something like this, it would be huge. Instead just export the PPT as a series of images, and then load the images in the wxPython app in the EVT_PAINT event handler for the display window. Use a timer to know when to load the next image and then refresh the window.
