Selecting shape by shapeid VBA powerpoint



I want to select a Shape by shapeid. My assumption from reading is that shape id is unique, the shape index seems to change with any change to file so I want the ID. Each search I make yields examples where people say that you should not bother to do this, but no explanation of how one would do it.



The best I found was someone who did a loop through the whole index to find which index number matched a specific ID. That seems terribly inefficient. I want to find shape ids of specific shapes that users will interact with on a touchscreen. Major apologies for any confusion I am typing this on phone. The example code obviously doesn't work since the index and Id do not match. It was just written to return ids of the shapes I touched and when they did not match index I added glow to see which shape in index it was.



Is my only option to run a loop of all shapes in index to see if I'd matched? Any short cut would be greatly appreciated.


Sub test(tshp)
Msgbox(tshp.Id)
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow._
View.Slide.Shapes(tshp.Id).glow._
radius =20

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow._
View.Slide.Shapes(tshp.Id).glow._
color=rgb(255.0.0)

End sub





Why not refer to shapes by shape names? They are unique too, and you can refer to them directly, and can make a lot more sense if you customize them appropriately... (and can even end with a unique number if you like!) More info: MSDN: Shape.Name Property

Shape.Name





I have read that shape names are not unique. They can be duplicates from what I read. If that is inaccurate then yes shape names would be much easier to deal with. From what I read names are only unique to a slide not a presentation. I suppose I could name everything manually, that seems tedious though.

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Dynamically update html content plain JS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
