This group is about Watir, not WIN32OLE. I would look for microsoft's
documentation on what powerpoint exposes for OLE automation.
You will probably have to iterate over open applications to detect the
existing powerpoint window. You might look at the source of Watir::IE.each
(ie-class.rb, line 236) for an example of iterating over application
windows, though that is of course for IE windows and not powerpoint, and
you'd have to adapt it heavily to get what you need out of it.

Hi,
In my application I've changed the setting so that the powerpoint would be
opened without file download prompt.
Now I need to focus on that already opened powerpoint and do some testing
through ruby.( say count the no of slides)
earlier i was saving the powerpoint ( clicking the save button from that
file download prompt) and opening the same ppt as
ppt = WIN32OLE.new('PowerPoint.Application')
ppt.Visible = true
* **doc = ppt.Presentations.Open('C:\Documents and
Settings\sinhaa\My Documents\JHEPAT_2010_VOL51_PG845.ppt')*
slidecount = doc.Slides.Count
puts slidecount
but the problem happend that when the remote system ( build server) is
locked or minimised then it stuck in the file download prompt because it was
not sending the key stroke.
So after setting changed the ppt already opened so i should be able to
directly count the slides on that ppt by focusing or activating the same
ppt.
i tried with below code but it seems not working. any thoughts???
$ie.goto(
http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2810%2960523-5/fulltext
)
$ie.link(:text, Download to PowerPoint).click
###The ppt gets opened automatically as a separate ppt file without file
download prompt because settings changed.
ppt = WIN32OLE.new('PowerPoint.Application')
ppt.Visible = true
slidecount = * ppt.Presentations*.Slides.Count
puts slidecount
Regards
Arihan
