_Slide.SlideID Property

Returns a unique ID number for the specified slide. Read-only.

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
