Create own powerpoint animation in VB

Question

How can I create my own PowerPoint animations in VB? Not sure where I can find the right commands etc.. I am somewhat familiar with VB... Is it even possible to achieve what I am looking for?

Answer 1

Powerpoint has a rich COM object model that you can access from VB, heres a Microsoft resource that explains how to do it.

It can be difficult findoug out what classes do what, so a good first approach is to turn on the macro recorder in Powerpoint, do the operation that you'd like to automate in VB, and then look at the VBA code that the macro recorder has created. The VBA and VB code will be pretty much identical.
