Re: Defining Slide Layout in VBA using a variable

getAttribute() returns a string but the second argument to Slides.Add() is an enum or an int. You need to convert the ppLayout* constants that you get as string to their int values and pass it as second argument.

Hi all,

I'm using VBA to parse an XML file into a powerpoint. I've got an
attribute on my Slide node called "layout". When I come to create a
slide I use this code:

' For each subject within the presentation
For Each SubjNode In PresNode.childNodes

' For each slide within that subject..
For Each SlideNode In SubjNode.childNodes

'Create that slide
Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(PPPres.Slides.Count + 1,
SlideNode.getAttribute("layout"))

If you note the last line of code, it has the slides.add with the
layout attribute from the SlideNode. However, I get a "Type Mismatch"
even though a Debug.Print SlideNode.getAttribute("layout") displays
the correct layout (ppLayoutText)

Thanks

Michael
