Powerpoint addin - where to start?
-
I want to write a PowerPoint addin that adds a button to the screen during the actual presentation time (rather than editing time) and then draws output on top of the presentation over top the presentation. The point is to pick a random person from a registered audience and display their name. 1. Is this kind of thing possible? 2. I know there are interop pages available online. Does anyone have any quick pointers as to what part of these documents I should look at for presentation event handlers (such as a slide change) and stuff like that? Perhaps how to draw a GDI+ object to a slide? (and remove that drawing upon a button click)?

Wrong forum - this is for C# only - but start here: Build your first PowerPoint task pane add-in - Office Add-ins | Microsoft Docs[^]

No... actually this is the correct forum. I am interested in C# addons. Not whatever that is about. There is already a tutorial on basic .NET addons but it doesn't quite cover the areas I am interested in learning about: PowerPoint timer (addin)[^]
