How can I modify and control a Power Point Presentation with LabVIEW?
How can I Find all the methods and properties of Power Point Application so I can use the ACTIVEX Vi's?
thanks

If you use the Activex container, you should be able to pull down a menu with all the available controls (from the empty container control itself). Be sure you have installed all your activex libraries.

ActiveX control of PowerPoint is very similar to Word and Excel. The main difference is the actions required to start a slide show and advance the slides.

The easiest way to find the methods and properties of any installed application is by using the VBA editor built into Excel.

From the Excel menu, select Tools, Macro, Visual Basic Editor.
From the Editor, select Tools, References and scroll down to Microsoft PowerPoint x.x Library
Check the box on the left and hit Ok
New press F2 to view the Object Inspector
Change to PowerPoint

Here you can find all of the methods, properties and global constants required to control all editing and presentation functions.

The problem is to control the graph object into a slide.
Attached you'll find a little vi and a small presentation.
In this simple example you can see that the MS-Chart object don't have the DATA SOURCE Properties.
How can I control those type of objects?

Thanks
