Rob, Thanks for the reply. My program is not started by PPT, nor does it start PPT. The application is in a lobby kiosk. A PPT slide show runs in an infinite loop. Twice a day, my app is supposed to appear on top of the running PPT slide show and announce an event and show a countdown timer. When the countdown reaches 0, my app closes and disappears. My app is launched as a Scheduled Task.
AFIK, Powerpoint knows nothing about my program. I don't know why the presentation pauses - it seems to be a built-in characteristic of PPT. I reviewed all the show setup options in PPT and didn't see anything about pausing for other windows, though. Thanks, Tim. --- In delphi-en@yahoogroups.com, Rob Kennedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What's the relationship between PowerPoint and your program. Why does > the presentation pause?
