I have a refresh issue in PowerPoint 2010, with the slides preview pane (left pane in the normal view).
To better isolate my issue, I created a Ppt 2010 Addin with VS 2010.
The addin adds a custom task pane with a user control containing a single button with this code in its click callback: Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActivePresentation.Slides(1).MoveTo(2)
I you click this button on a presentation with 3 slides and page numbers in the footers, the thumbnails in the slides pane are greyed and do not refresh until you click in the pane.
This does not happen if:
- The same code is called from a ribbon button
- The code is called by a vba macro
- There is no slide numbers on the slides
This is a very specific issue, but really anoying if you work a lot with custom task pane. Basically, if the code you execute from a custom task pane moves slides, you loose the refresh of the thumbnails in the slides pane.
Any idea for a simple workaround?
