    try using:
    Qt Code:
    1. 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?

    Yes, it can. You can control it through the exposed COM (ActiveX) interface.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
