How to add Hyperlink to a node of SmartArt in PPT

[anilbits001]

HI Team,

Hope you are doing well.

Can we add Hyperlink to a node of SmartArt in a slide of PPT so when we click any node of SmartArt then added hyperlink should work and jump to given hyperlink location in PPT?

For Example:- I need to add Hyperlink to nodes of SmartArt to jump one another slides in a PPT. so that when i click on any node the hyperlink should just jump to provided slide no in hyperlink.

Looking for a positive response . Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards,
Anil Kumar

Hi Anil,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Sorry at present our Spire.Presentation doesn't support adding hyperlinks to the SmartArt nodes. However, we will consider adding it into our further upgrade list with the ticket SPIREPPT-1045. If it can be achieved in the future, we will inform you.

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for providing this functionality quickly.

It would be great if you can provide the same code in VB.NET to add hyperlink on a node in SmartArt in PPT. I tried this in VB.Net but it's not working. So could you please provide code in VB.NET?

Thanks in Advance. Looking for a positive response.

Hello Rachel,

Thanks for a quick response.

This code works well when i execute with a predefined ppt template with an smart art already placed. However, when i try to add smartart at run time in blank template and then if i try to assign hyperlink to one of its node then it throw NullException Erorr. I am attaching a screen shot and sample code for that. Could you please help me on this.

Please see the code below which i am using.

Dim ppt As Presentation = New Presentation()

ppt.LoadFromFile("Presentation1.pptx")
ppt.Slides(0).Shapes.AppendSmartArt(50, 50, 3000, 3000, SmartArtLayoutType.OrganizationChart)

Dim shapes As ShapeCollection = ppt.Slides(0).Shapes
For Each shape As IShape In shapes
If (TypeOf shape Is ISmartArt) Then
'Get the SmartArt
Dim smartArt As ISmartArt = CType(shape, ISmartArt)
Dim node As ISmartArtNode = smartArt.Nodes(0)

node.Click = New ClickHyperlink("https://www.e-iceblue.com")
End If
Next
ppt.SaveToFile("result.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013)

Thanks in Advance. Looking for a positive response.
