Thanks for the quick reply.<BR> <BR>The line<BR>ppt.WindowSelectionChange += onWindowSelectionChange<BR>doesn't work for me. <BR> <BR>It looks like my ppt object (type __ComObject) doesn't have the WindowSelectionChange attribute (see below for a dir on my ppt object). I've looked at other objects in ppt (ActiveWindow, ActiveWindow.Application, etc.), and I can't find WindowSelectionChange (or any other event) anywhere by running recursive dir() on my ppt object and its attributes.<BR> <BR>I'm puzzled. My ppt object probably isn't the Application object to which event handlers are attached (I'm ashamed to say that I'm not sure what class my ppt object is instantiated from, or what's the type of its attributes). Or maybe I need to do something particular to enable events?<BR> <BR>Any help would be greatly appreciated.<BR>Many thanks,<BR>Julien.<BR> <BR>dir(ppt), where ppt = Marshal.GetActiveObject("PowerPoint.Application")<BR>['Activate', 'Active', 'ActivePresentation', 'ActivePrinter', 'ActiveWindow', 'A<BR>ddIns', 'AnswerWizard', 'Assistant', 'AutoCorrect', 'AutomationSecurity', 'Build<BR>', 'COMAddIns', 'Caption', 'CommandBars', 'CreateObjRef', 'Creator', 'DefaultWeb<BR>Options', 'Dialogs', 'DisplayAlerts', 'DisplayGridLines', 'Equals', 'FeatureInst<BR>all', 'FileFind', 'FileSearch', 'Finalize', 'GetHashCode', 'GetLifetimeService',<BR> 'GetOptionFlag', 'GetType', 'HWND', 'Height', 'Help', 'InitializeLifetimeServic<BR>e', 'LanguageSettings', 'LaunchSpelling', 'Left', 'Marker', 'MemberwiseClone', '<BR>MsoDebugOptions', 'Name', 'NewPresentation', 'OperatingSystem', 'Options', 'PPFi<BR>leDialog', 'Path', 'Presentations', 'ProductCode', 'Quit', 'Run', 'SetOptionFlag<BR>', 'SetPerfMarker', 'ShowStartupDialog', 'ShowWindowsInTaskbar', 'SlideShowWindo<BR>ws', 'ToString', 'Top', 'VBE', 'Version', 'Visible', 'Width', 'WindowState', 'Wi<BR>ndows', '__class__', '__doc__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__<BR>', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__']<BR> <BR><BR>De: Kelie <kf9150@gmail.com><BR>Date: Mercredi, 25 Juin 2008, 3:31<BR>Objet: Re: [IronPython] events in PowerPoint<BR>À: users@lists.ironpython.com<BR><BR>> Not sure if this will help.
