Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
ReadOnly Property SlideID As Integer
Get
'Usage
Dim instance As _Slide
Dim value As Integer
value = instance.SlideID
int SlideID { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Int32
Long
Remarks
Unlike the SlideIndex property, the SlideID property of a Slide object won't change when you add slides to the presentation or rearrange the slides in the presentation. Therefore, using the FindBySlideID(Int32) method with the slide's ID number can be a more reliable way to return a specific Slide object from a Slides collection than using the Item method with the slide's index number.
Examples
This example demonstrates how to retrieve the unique ID number for a Slide object and then use this number to return that Slide object from the Slides collection.
Set gslides = ActivePresentation.Slides
'Get slide ID
graphSlideID = gslides.Add(2, ppLayoutChart).SlideIDgslides.FindBySlideID(graphSlideID) _
.SlideShowTransition.EntryEffect = _
ppEffectCoverLeft 'Use ID to return specific slide
