    <p>Each instance of the Powerpoint COM object shares the same fullscreen display window. I know of no method to switch which presentation has that window</p> <p>The solution is to host the Powerpoint display in your own window</p> <p>This therefore allows you to scale the window and show multiple presentations on one monitor, or move it from one monitor to another?</p> <p>e.g.</p> <pre><code>var display1 = new FullScreenDisplay(); // A form with BorderStyle = None display1.Show(); application1 = new PowerPoint.Application(); presentation1 = application1.Presentations.Open2007(....); var slideShowSettings1 = presentation1.SlideShowSettings; slideShowSettings1.ShowType = PowerPoint.PpSlideShowType.ppShowTypeSpeaker; var slideShowWindow1 = slideShowSettings1.Run(); IntPtr hwnd1 = (IntPtr)slideShowWindow1.HWND; SetParent(hwnd1, display1.Handle); var display2 = new FullScreenDisplay(); display2.Show(); application2 = new PowerPoint.Application(); presentation2 = application2.Presentations.Open2007(....); var slideShowSettings2 = presentation2.SlideShowSettings; slideShowSettings2.ShowType = PowerPoint.PpSlideShowType.ppShowTypeSpeaker; var slideShowWindow2 = slideShowSettings2.Run(); IntPtr hwnd2 = (IntPtr)slideShowWindow2.HWND; SetParent(hwnd2, display2.Handle); display1.BringToFront(); // to show slideshow 1 // or display2.BringToFront(); // to show slideshow 2 // To advance a slide presentation1.SlideShowWindow.View.Next(); // or presentation2.SlideShowWindow.View.Next(); // To exit, note order! presentation2.SlideShowWindow.View.Exit(); presentation1.SlideShowWindow.View.Exit(); Application.Exit(); </code></pre> <p>This is a hack, and may not work in future versions of Powerpoint?</p> <p>You also need this import</p> <pre><code>[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)] static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent); </code></pre>

    3. COI am finally getting back to this project. Your solution gets a 50%, as I discovered a couple of significant issues; first, this does not appear to work on 64 bit, and I am still researching that. More importantly, it points out the glaring need to implement the active document server. This is the only way that I have found to execute animations and slide shows. As your code stand above, the first page of the presentation WILL display, but without the server being activated. See next comment....

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
