Methods' Details
nextEffect
boolean
nextEffect();

Description
Trigger the next effect of the slideshow.

This method triggers the next effect on the currently displayed slide. If there is currently no slideshow running, this method does nothing. If there are no more effects on the current slide, a possible slide transition effect is issued and the next slide is displayed.

Returns
true, if the next effect was successfully triggered. This method returns false, if there is no show running, the last effect on the last slide was already triggered, or the implementation failed to trigger the next effect.
previousEffect
boolean
previousEffect();

Description
Undo the last effect in the main sequence of the slideshow.

The current slide is displayed as if the last user-triggered effect has never been triggered. If there is no previous effect on the current slide then slideEnded(true) is called at the registered XSlideShowListener objects, which can then trigger a change to the previous slide. Note that this command is executed asynchronously. Multiple calls to update() may be necessary to complete its execution. If there is currently no slideshow running, this method does nothing.

Returns
true, if the previous effect was successfully triggered. This method returns false, if there is no show running, the first effect on the first slide was not yet triggered, or the implementation failed to trigger the previous effect.
startShapeActivity
boolean
startShapeActivity( [in] ::com::sun::star::drawing::XShape  xShape );

Description
Start a shape-intrinsic animation or activity.

This method starts an animation or activity intrinsic to the given shape. Shape-intrinsic activities are things like video playback for multimedia shapes, sounds, GIF animations and drawing layer animations (flipping between shapes in a group, or scroll text).

Parameter xShape
The shape to start the activity for
stopShapeActivity
boolean
stopShapeActivity( [in] ::com::sun::star::drawing::XShape  xShape );

Description
Stop a shape-intrinsic animation or activity.

This method stops an animation or activity intrinsic to the given shape. Shape-intrinsic activities are things like video playback for multimedia shapes, sounds, GIF animations and drawing layer animations (flipping between shapes in a group, or scroll text).

Parameter xShape
The shape to stop the activity for
displaySlide
void
displaySlide( [in] ::com::sun::star::drawing::XDrawPage  xSlide,
[in] ::com::sun::star::drawing::XDrawPagesSupplier  xDrawPages,
[in] ::com::sun::star::animations::XAnimationNode  aAnimationNode,
[in] sequence< ::com::sun::star::beans::PropertyValue >  aProperties );

Description
Jump to the given slide.

This method ends all effects on the current slide, displays a possible slide transition, followed by the given slide. If the current slide is equal to the requested slide here, this method does nothing (this especially means, that any currently active effects will remain running).

Parameter xPage
The slide to display.
Parameter xDrawPages
For future use.
Parameter xAnimationNode
The animation node determine the animations to display.
Parameter aProperties
Sequence of property values, which influence the way the slide is displayed. Currently, the following values are recognized:
  • name: Prefetch, value: ::com::sun::star::drawing::XDrawPage. When given, this slide is prepared in the background to be displayed next. The next call to displaySlide() with the given slide may be faster if there was enough time for prefatching. If the next call to displaySlide() uses a different slide, this will still work but will not have any performance improvements
  • name: SkipAllMainSequenceEffects, value: boolean. When true then all main sequence effects on the new slide are triggered. This is typically used when going back one effect leads to the previous slide. On that slide all effects have to be shown in order to continue the backward travelling. When false, the default, then no main sequence effect is triggered.
  • name: SkipSlideTransition, value: boolean. When true then the slide transition animation, if there is any, is not displayed. This is typically used when going back one effect leads to the previous slide. Typically used together with SkipAllMainSequenceEffects also being true. When false, the default, then the slide transition effect, if it exists, is played.
pause
boolean
pause( [in] boolean  bPauseShow );

Description
Change the pause state of the slide show.

This method either pauses the slide show (all currently running effects are stopped), or starts a previously stopped show again (all paused effects start again).

Parameter bPauseShow
When true, the show is paused. When false, and the show was paused, it starts running at the paused position again.
Returns
true, if the requested action was successfully performed.
getCurrentSlide
::com::sun::star::drawing::XDrawPage
getCurrentSlide();

Description
Query the currently displayed slide.

Returns
the instance of the current slide. If there's no slideshow running at the moment, this method returns an empty reference.
registerUserPaintPolygons
void
registerUserPaintPolygons( [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::XMultiServiceFactory  xDocFactory );

Description
Register drawn polygons in presentation mode
Parameter xDocFactory
setProperty
boolean
setProperty( [in] ::com::sun::star::beans::PropertyValue  aShowProperty );

Description
Change a property of the slideshow.

Parameter aShowProperty
Property values, which influence the way the slides are shown. Note that this might possibly be a subset of what is supported on show(). Currently, the following values are recognized:
  • name: AutomaticAdvancement, value: double. When given, effects and slides are advanced automatically. The double value specifies the timeout between the end of one effect until the start of the next one. Negative values are truncated to zero here. When given, but with empty value, automatic advancement is disabled again.
  • name: UserPaintColor, value: long. When given, the slide show will display a small stylus as the mouse cursor. When pressing the left mouse key, the user can paint a thin line in the given color.
A changed property is effective immediately.
addView
boolean
addView( [in] XSlideShowView  xView );

Description
Add a view to the slide show.

This method adds a view to the slide show. After successful completion of this method, the slide show will be visible on the added view, scaled according to the view's output area.

Parameter xView
The view to add
Returns
true, if the view has been successfully added. Otherwise, false is returned (e.g. if the view is already added).
removeView
boolean
removeView( [in] XSlideShowView  xView );

Description
Remove view from the slide show.

This method removes the given view from the slide show. After successful completion of this method, the slide show will cease to display on this view.

Parameter xView
View to remove
Returns
true, if the view was successfully removed, false otherwise (e.g. if the view was not added in the first place).
update
boolean
update( [out] double  nNextTimeout );

Description
Update the animations.

This method updates all currently active slide animations. The XSlideShow implementations do not render animations automatically, but must be called from their clients. This allows for various update mechanisms to be employed, ranging from a dedicated rendering thread, over timer-based updates, to rendering in an idle function. Either way, the client of this interface decide about the details.

Parameter nNextTimeout
Via this value, the implementation can return a timeout value, denoting the maximal time span that must not be exceeded from the return of this method to the next update call. Otherwise, the animations might show visible jerks.
Returns
true, if further update calls are required. If false is returned, no further update calls are necessary, until anyone of the other interface methods is called (most notably, the next/previousSlide(), nextEffect() and show() methods will nearly always make further update() calls necessary).
addSlideShowListener
void
addSlideShowListener( [in] XSlideShowListener  xListener );

Description
Add a slide show listener.

This method adds a listener to the slide show, which will get notified when a registerend shape is clicked upon, or a new slide is about to be displayed. Note that the listeners will not be notified, when the slide change is directly requested by one of the nextSlide(), previousSlide() or displaySlide() methods.

Parameter xListener
Listener to add.
removeSlideShowListener
void
removeSlideShowListener( [in] XSlideShowListener  xListener );

Description
Revoke a previously registered slide show listener.

Parameter xListener
Listener interface to revoke from being called.
addShapeEventListener
void
addShapeEventListener( [in] XShapeEventListener  xListener,
[in] ::com::sun::star::drawing::XShape  xShape );

Description
Add a shape event listener.

This method adds a listener to the slide show, which will get notified when a mouse click is performed on the given shape. This can be used by clients of the slide show to trigger external actions, such as jumps to different slides.

Parameter xListener
Listener to add.
Parameter xShape
Shape to register a listener for.
removeShapeEventListener
void
removeShapeEventListener( [in] XShapeEventListener  xListener,
[in] ::com::sun::star::drawing::XShape  xShape );

Description
Revoke a previously registered shape event listener.

Parameter xListener
Listener interface to revoke from being called.
Parameter xShape
Shape for which the listener should be revoked.
setShapeCursor
void
setShapeCursor( [in] ::com::sun::star::drawing::XShape  xShape,
[in] short  nPointerShape );

Description
Set a special mouse cursor for a shape.

This method requests the slide show to display a special cursor, whenever the mouse is hovering over the given shape.

Parameter xShape
Shape to display a special mouse cursor.
Parameter nPointerShape
Type of mouse cursor to display. Must be one of the ::com::sun::star::awt::SystemPointer values.
