ScreenUpdating

hi all,

I am nearly done writing an application (in vb.net) that uses interop for Microsoft Powerpoint, and the problem is that when I write to the slide, I don't want the user to see those updates. I know in vba, one would write 'Application.ScreenUpdating = false', however screenupdating is not found under the application. I have searched fruitlessly through other articles for a simple solution, but they seem to be geared towards excel. Can anyone help me Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Why not hide powerpoint until your code has finished and then display it.

    Would minimising the Active Window achieve what you want to do for the time being

    Application.ActiveWindow.WindowState = ppWindowMinimized

    thanks for your reply. The problem with that is you can't change the visiblity of the powerpoint without getting an error since it's working with "active" windows.

    Thanks for the reply. I had already known that one, but it still takes time to minimize. Because the user will be generating a theoretically limitless number of powerpoints, the minimal time that it shows up becomes annoying.
