Using Presentations coded automation APIs

To use the Presentations coded automation APIs, apply the following steps:

  1. Download the activity package.

  2. Create a Coded Workflow.

  3. Call the powerpoint.UsePowerPointPresentation method to retrieve the handle of a PowerPoint file.

  4. Use the handle to perform actions. With the Presentations coded automation, you should be able to perform the same operations as with the Presentations modern activities in a .xaml file.

    Note:
    • The Presentations activities are implemented in the Coded service as extension methods for the handle. To check all the available extension methods, type handle_name. and then Ctrl + Space.
    • ConstClass2 - Contains string representations of different slide format options. For more details, refer to the What is a slide layout? page.
    Important:

    There is a known limitation that the PowerPoint files must be closed when executing a Presentations coded workflow.
