Implement Presentation.AutoSaveOn property in PowerPointApi

[kev-is-coding-for-adn]

Add AutoSaveOn property in PowerPoint Api

[kev-is-coding-for-adn]

As I said, I tested this approach using an extension, but it doesn't seem to return the value of the AutoSaveOn property.

Please use the link to the English documentation.

Does this implementation work for you?

[kev-is-coding-for-adn]

In fact, it appears this property is not accessible through API. It's only a VBA helper to deactivate AutoSave. I didn't find a way to access it another way. Too bad.

[jozefizso]

Weird, this property exists in Excel and it works.

All the stuff from VBA model exists in COM objects too.

I can check if it's exposed on Mac.

[kev-is-coding-for-adn]

Let me know if it works for you. I trully would need this property to be available! Thanks

Here are all the members of the Presentation object in PowerPoint on Mac 16.95.4.

The AutoSaveOn property exists there.

So you mean it should work ?
Here is the code I tried to use to get this property for a presentation I know has the "auto save" property on.
But this code always return false.

public static bool IsAutoSaveOn(this Presentation pres)
        {
            try
            {
                return pres.Factory.ExecuteBoolPropertyGet(pres, "AutoSaveOn");
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
