    <p>Sorry for the VBA, but it can easily be ported to C#. Here's what will work:</p> <pre><code>Sub addsound1() Dim ap As Presentation : Set ap = ActivePresentation Dim sl As Slide : Set sl = ap.Slides(1) Dim audioShape As Shape soundFileLocation = "C:\droid_scan.wav" Set audioShape = sl.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeActionButtonSound, 100, 100, 50, 50) With audioShape.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick) .Action = ppActionNone .SoundEffect.ImportFromFile soundFileLocation End With End Sub Sub addsound2() Dim ap As Presentation : Set ap = ActivePresentation Dim sl As Slide : Set sl = ap.Slides(1) Dim audioShape As Shape soundFileLocation = "C:\droid_scan2.wav" Set audioShape = sl.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeActionButtonSound, 50, 50, 50, 50) With audioShape.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick) .Action = ppActionNone .SoundEffect.ImportFromFile soundFileLocation End With End Sub Sub PlaySound1() Dim sh As Shape Set sh = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1) sh.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).SoundEffect.Play End Sub Sub PlaySound2() Dim sh As Shape Set sh = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(2) sh.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).SoundEffect.Play End Sub </code></pre>

    1. COThanks for pointing me in the direction of the TimeLine object. However, I am still stuck on how I trigger the sound to play in code. My understanding is that I need to get a SoundEffect object from somewhere, so that I can call SoundEffect.Play(). After using this code, the shape.AnimationSettings.SoundEffect still doesn't give me something I can Play(), and I don't quite understand how I can use the TimeLine to get something playable. Can you provide any guidance? The Ppt object is still very mysterious to me...

    2. CO@Mathias: How are you looking to play it other than how the `PlaySettings` above are set? For example, are you planning to go into SlideShowView and then after clicking the letter "P" it will play? Or are you looking to click on an object, like a shape, and then it play? Or are you trying to play it in Normal view? I'm trying to understand how you're expecting it and then I can update the code. One thing to note is that this isn't really a "media object" first and then an "animation" second - it's an animation first, so things like "Play" are not really what you'd expect.

    3. COSorry if my scenario wasn't clear. What I want to do is trigger playing from code, not through the presentation. Roughly, my add-in maintains a collection of the shapes that have sound, displayed in a listbox. When the user selects an item, I can access the shape, and I would like the sound to play. This is not in Slide Show mode, but in Normal mode (slide design). AddMediaObject creates clickable shapes that play the sound in Slide Show mode, I am looking for a way to play the sound attached to the shape in "design" mode, programmatically.

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.
