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

Hey Chirag,

Thanks, that's really done the trick. All I have to do now is figure
out all the numerical IDs and then use my database to convert them.

Thanks again

I know I'm replying to myself, but if anyone needs references for
these, here's my rough guide:

1 = Title with subtitle
2 = title + text
3 = Title + Two Text
4 = Title + Table
5 = Title + text + chart
6 = Title + Chart + Text
7 = Title + Diagram
8 = Title + Chart
9 = Title + text + Clipart
10 = Title + Clipart + Text
11 = Title [At top] only
12 = Blank
13 = Title + text + content
14 = Title + Content + text
15 = Large Content
16 = Title + Content
17 = Title + Text + Media Clip
18 = Title + Media Clip + Text
19 = Title + Content + text
20 = Title + Text + Content
21 = Title + Text + Content + Content
22 = Title + Content + Content + text
23 = Title + Content + Content + Text [Vertical]
24 = Title + Content + Content + Content + Content
25 = Title + Side Text
26 = Title + Clipart + Side Text
27 = Side Title + Side Text
28 = Side Title + Sidetext + Chart
29 = Title + Content + Content
30 = Title + Content + Small content + Small Content
31 = Title + Small Content + small Content + Content

Thanks

Michael
