Add audio to presentation

[erkki.lohiniva]

Hi,

I am trying to add audio to presentation with some advanced settings.

I need to add audio with options to start audio automatically when slide is opened and hide audio play button during presentation.
When using settings IsPlayinBackground = true and IsLoop = false does hide the play button but the audio is looped and not stopped when moving to next slide.

Any advanced code samples would be helpful.

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please note that the property "IsPlayinBackground" of an audio will affect the property "IsLoop" in a ppt file. When both of them are set at the same time, the "IsLoop" is determined by the "IsPlayinBackground"; that is, when the "IsPlayinBackground" is true, "IsLoop" will be true; Isloop will be false when isplayinbackground is false.

Sincerely,
Brian

Hi,

Ok. That's how it works.
But how can I do this
- Hide play button from slides during presentation
- Automatically (or using animation triggers) start audio(s) when slide is opened during presentation

Using IsPlayinBackground = true hides the button but causes audio looping and if you have different audios for slides it makes them all loop when going in presentation mode.

Hello,

Thank for your response.
I am sorry that our Spire.Presentation does not support hiding play button from slides during show, but I have added it as a new feature into our upgrade list. If it is implemented in the future, we will inform you immediately.
Regarding starting audio when slide is opened during show automatically, please refer to the following code.

Code: Select all

            Presentation presentation = new Presentation();

            presentation.LoadFromFile(@"InsertAudio.pptx");

            RectangleF audioRect = new RectangleF(220, 240, 80, 80);
            IAudio audio = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendAudioMedia("Music.wav", audioRect);
            AnimationEffect effect = presentation.Slides[0].Timeline.MainSequence.AddEffect(audio, AnimationEffectType.RandomBars);
            effect.AnimationEffectType = AnimationEffectType.MediaPlay;
            effect.Timing.TriggerType = AnimationTriggerType.WithPrevious;
            effect.Timing.AnimationRepeatType = AnimationRepeatType.UtilEndOfSlide;  //This line of code will loop the audio until the end of the current slide


            audio = presentation.Slides[1].Shapes.AppendAudioMedia("ANU - FLY.wav", audioRect);
            effect = presentation.Slides[1].Timeline.MainSequence.AddEffect(audio, AnimationEffectType.RandomBars);
            effect.AnimationEffectType = AnimationEffectType.MediaPlay;
            effect.Timing.TriggerType = AnimationTriggerType.WithPrevious;
            effect.Timing.AnimationRepeatType = AnimationRepeatType.UtilEndOfSlide;

            presentation.SaveToFile("Audio.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
