Hello all, I'm still working on this slide show automation tool. I've got to a point where I'm triggering effects on a slide every 'n' seconds and moving to the next slide 'm' seconds after the effects have finished.
However, some effects are causing me issues. Essentially, I'm calling nextEffect method on XSlideShowController[0] every 'n' seconds while there are still effects on the slide to show, and then calling it again 'm' seconds later. Unfortunately, this causes me issues when an effect takes longer than 'n', as calling nextEffect while an effect is still running doesn't seem to have any effect, which means that I end up a few effects short of actually finishing the presentation. Two ways have occurred to me to solve this: * Wait the 'n' seconds _after_ the last effect has been shown. This would require either a blocking call which shows the effect or some way of polling to find out when it has finished, or * A way to show effects in parallel. This would require a way around calls to XSlideShowController.nextEffect being ignored when an effect is running. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan [Footnote 0: com.sun.star.presentation.XSlideShowController] -- credativ ltd UK office: +44 1788 298150 PO Box 3868 Direct ext: +44 1788 298152 Rugby Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CV21 3WW Web: http://www.credativ.co.uk/ credativ limited is registered in England & Wales, company no. 5261743 registered office: Suite 2 Bloxam Court, Corporation Street, Rugby CV21 2DU --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
