For years, developers and power users developed add-ins for Microsoft Office PowerPoint, either by writing Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code or by creating a COM add-in that targeted PowerPoint. Although both of these techniques still work with Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you can now use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office system to create add-ins for PowerPoint 2007 in either Microsoft Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual C#.

In this article, you walk through the steps to create an add-in that works with the PowerPoint object model to accomplish some simple tasks. You learn how to write code in Visual Basic or Visual C# that responds to an application-level event. You also find out how to use Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Office system to take advantage of two new features in PowerPoint 2007: the Microsoft Office Fluent Ribbon and the custom task pane.

Visual Studio 2005 project types • In the Templates pane, select PowerPoint Add-in. • Provide a name, for example, PPTSetPrintProperties, and a location for your add-in.

Visual Studio uses the template you selected to create a solution that includes two projects: the add-in project and a setup project that you can use to help deploy the completed add-in. Take a moment to examine the add-in project. It contains a class module named ThisAddIn with two event handlers: ThisAddIn_Startup and ThisAddIn_Shutdown. The ThisAddIn_Startup method handles the Startup event for the add-in, which is raised after the application is running and all its initialization code has run. The ThisAddIn_Shutdown method handles the Shutdown event for the add-in, which is raised when the application hosting the add-in is about to unload, or when the user chooses to unload the add-in through the user interface.

If you are using Visual C#, you can use the ThisAddIn class to define a set of namespaces that you are likely to use as you write the code for your add-in. Using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime; using PowerPoint = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint; using Office = Microsoft.Office.Core; using Microsoft.Office.Tools; The Visual Basic template imports these namespaces also, but it does so at a project level so you do not see a similar list in the ThisAddIn.vb class module. The ThisAddIn class includes two members that you use to communicate with PowerPoint: • The Application object refers to the current instance of PowerPoint.
