Hello! We are currently struggling with a problem of extending Microsoft PowerPoint (PP) freehand line functionality. Here is our objective: Imagine you have a brush in your hand and you are drawing a line. You can easily change the thickness of this line while drawing by controlling the pressure on the paper. So after you drew it the line has many different thicknesses in it depending on how many times you changed the pressure while drawing. Back to PP� We need something like a freehand line, but the output will not just be a line that has the same thickness on the whole length of it. The thickness varies depending on some logic (black box) that is implemented by our algorithm. Image you inherit from �freehand line� object and extend it by characteristics described in the brush example (different thicknesses contained by one continuous line). We need something that behaves the same way when you scale it (zoom) like lines in PP do. That means that the thickness of line is not affected by scaling, opposite to objects in PP, which change their shapes while scaling. We have written our own OLE server, which creates such line, but when we copy it into PP it becomes an object that does not scale like a line - it changes its shape while scaling. We think that one of possible directions could be to find out the structure and format of all possible object types supported by MS Office (Lines, Shapes, objects, etc). Examine them and find the one that has the closest match to our requirements. Then inherit from it, extend it and introduce it SOMEHOW to PP as a new custom drawing object type/class. We have not found any information on types and formats or the possibility to extend the standard graphical office objects types by custom graphical objects. Maybe if you spent a lot of $$ on MS Certificates and you have a certain level of support this information and appropriate framework is accessible to you? We think that this problem requires a real expert in MS Office Area therefore we post it here. Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Cheers, gicio

Hi! How to extand and access the internat Office object structure. Is there any Dev Kit for Microsoft Partners that in not available to "normal" users? Something like NOKIA back entrence!? gicio

Hi! I post this text 1 year ago. But no one really could give me an answer. This is the text that I posted long time ago: I have a fundamental question about The way .NET handles the object orientated way of Persistence. I am coming from JAVA and WebObjects (Apple) World and I am looking for a convenient way of working with objects without seeing any SQL statements only objects. I have used that approach for years on the WebObjects Platform (Enterprise Object Framework) and in Java recently (Container Managed Persistence). I am looking for something like that in the Microsoft world. As far as I understand Microsoft does not distinguish between the Object Model and the Relational Model. The main difference is that the Object model allows n : m relationships and the Relational does not allow them. Here a small example to visualize the problem: Example: There is a Patient object with following Attributes String patientGUID; String name; Int age; Hashtable diseases; (or some other Container like Collection or Array) And there is a Disease Object String diseaseGUID; String name; In the object Model there is relation between Patient and Disease where the patient has his diseases but on the other site one disease can belong to 1..* patients. (n : m) That n : m relationship can not exist within a relational database without a link table that contains the connections between the tables: Patient and Disease. Now, I would like to connect the object Model containing TWO Entities (Patient, Disease) with the relational database (containing THREE tables). Then I want to work with my objects; e.g. create new diseases connect them to existing patients by putting the diseases into the array or create new Patients and connect them with already existing diseases or just change a Patients name. When I am finished I just want to say SAVECHANGES and the database is updated accordingly including all link table entries. So all I have to care about are my objects and the relations between them, some invisible layer does all the dirty work like building SQL, converting the data types and caching. So if I fetch a Patient with a specified GUID I do not have to care about fetching his diseases. They are fetched automatically. If there are too many Diseases I do not care some kind of algorithm handles that problem in such a way that if I have to search all of them for something they are simply there. They are loaded on demand (lazy evaluation) Supposing that the disease has a further connection with some DiseaseType Object/Table and that table has an attribute/column "Description" I can access it by typing the following code: TextField1.Text = currentDisease.type().description() Please note that to retrieve the description value I did only fetch the Patient. The diseases and its types were fetched automatically. Is something like that possible or am I excepting too much of the .NET? ------------------------------------------------------------------- This tool should be a mixture between Microsoft Visio (I mean ORM modelling) and a good object-to-relational mapping tool. Is something like that NOW available???? thx! gicio

HI! I have two expert questions: 1. Is it possible to add new (own) End Styles of arrows in the Format AutoShape window (Colors and Lines) drop down box? 2. How is it possible to access the object structure in PowerPoint. I mean by this accessing the objects that are created on the given slide. I would like to identify the selected object, maybe check its category (arrow, text, etc), take and pass it to my program. Then put the changed object back into the slide instead of the selected object. Off course I will ensure the right format. But what format is it? I am all ears! gicio
