Hello all,
I have come to the conclusion that controlling the slide show, as I am,
using an external timer is pretty stupid, as Impress obviously has
built-in timings.
Before describing what I have found, let me reiterate my requirements.
I'm looking to set up timings such that, per slide, the effects happen
with 'n' seconds between them. Once the last effect on a slide has
completed, I want to wait 'm' seconds before proceeding to the next
slide.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to manipulate these timings in
exactly the way I want. What I have found are the following things:
* The AutomaticAdvancement property of XSlideShow[0], which causes
a new event every 's' seconds. That is to say, the next effect
or slide will be shown every 's' seconds. This doesn't meet my
requirements, as it requires 'm == n'.
* The 'Change' and 'Duration' properties on XDrawPage[1], which
allow me to set each slide (individually) to change
automatically every 's' seconds. This doesn't take account of
individual effects, and seems to only work for slides with
effects on, but at least gets me some of the way.
Am I missing something, or is there not yet API support for what I want
to do?
Thank you for the continuing support,
Dan
