How to set Powerpoint normal view with thumbnails pane too

Time:09-29

I am trying to set PowerPoint normal view with the code below. The code shows the normal slide, but the left-side thumbnails do not show up in a left-side pane.

wapp.ActiveWindow.ViewType = PpViewType.ppViewNormal;

I have looked through all the ppViewType options, but none of them produce the desired results.

Does someone know the magic syntax (VBA or C#) to make the normal display look like the display when I click the Normal button on the UI? Thank you.

CodePudding user response:

I get the thumbnails showing if I run 2 view statements. The first sets the view to ppViewSlide (without thumbnails). Then ppViewNormal restores the thumbnails:

Sub ShowHideWindows()
    With ActiveWindow
        .ViewType = ppViewSlide
        .ViewType = ppViewNormal
    End With
End Sub
