VBA code for hyperlinking slides present within the 'slide collection'

Question

I have created a VBA code for PowerPoint. It creates many slides and slide collections. Among them, I added 163 slides into new collection named "thirdCollection". Now I want to create 2 shapes in each slide present only in "thirdCollection". One shape acts as next slide button and another slide acts as previous slide button by enabling hyperlinks in them. All these hyperlinks want to work within that particular collection, and it shouldn't interefere or disturb other slides or collection in the presentation. Please give me idea of code snippet to establish this feature. (Manual hyperlink links to next slide present in the order of slides but I want it to link to next slide present within that collection.)

Please ignore all suggestions that urge you to take VBA questions to the Q&A forum. Unless you enjoy wasting your time.

Here's a snippet you can adapt to what you're doing; instead of iterating through the entire .Slides collection, you'll want to iterate through the collection you've defined.

Sub thing() ' Because I'm too lazy to give it a kewl name! 

    Dim oSl As Slide 

    For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides 

    With oSl 
        ' And being lazy, I'll simply add the pre-defined shapes that
        ' already include the hyperlinks to next/previous slides

        .Shapes.AddShape msoShapeActionButtonForwardorNext, 0, 0, 100, 100 

        .Shapes.AddShape msoShapeActionButtonBackorPrevious, 200, 0, 100, 100 

    End With 

    Next 

End Sub
