python - win32com -> powerpoint.application: skip password pop up dialogue
I have a lot of powerpoint file need to open. Some of the files require password, and I need to skip the pop up dialog. How can I skip this dialogue, and jump to the next path?
Example:
I'm using win32com method to use powerpoint.application.
This is my code:
filename = 'test.pptx'
PPTApplication = win32com.client.Dispatch("PowerPoint.Application")
PPTApplication.DisplayAlerts = False
PPTApplication.Presentations.Open(filename,ReadOnly=True,WithWindow=False)
This is the function that I've checked:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/powerpoint-vba/articles/presentations-open-method-powerpoint
DisplayAlert is set to False and ReadOnly is set to True, but the dialogue still pops up.
