Dear all,

Could anyone tell me is any way to open Microsoft Powerpoint(PPT) files in any Qt Widget?

Thanks in advance.

try using:

Qt Code:

Switch view

QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("file:///path_to_ppt_file"));

QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("file:///path_to_ppt_file"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Please clarify the below point.

Is it possible to show Powerpoint using ActiveQt widgets?

On windows, if you have a powerpoint installation, and program against COM interface (ie ActiveQt) then, yes, you should be able to do that.
You will need to find a tutorial or book on API exposed by/for powerpoint, though.

(Can't help you there, sorry. I am running linux.)

I didn't worked ActiveQt related widgets before. Can you please tell me whether the Powerpoint which is viewing in ActiveQt can be editable and saved in a location?
