Fill presentation with texts

[Lukasz Rolbiecki]

Hi!

I would like to replace some texts in PPT file with actual values, i.e. "customer_name" should be replaced by "Syncfusion".

I implemented quickly some simple console application that is doing exactly so, but I used standard text boxes marked with some prefix string (in this case "DYNAMIC:") and I have to scan through all the shapes in presentation.

Is it possible in PowerPoint to do it in more elegant way. Like using some special kind of object (like a form fields) with particular IDs? Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. 

I found such a post:

But I cannot find the field "Title" in Format Shape that was used in this example (I'm using office 365)

I attached the console application mentioned before.

Kind regards,

Lukasz

Hi Lukasz,

Thank you contacting Syncfusion support.

Yes, it can be achievable using the shape.Description property in the Essential Presentation library. Please refer the below link to know about set the description for the shape.

You can set desired text in the description of the shape object and based on the description property of the Shape object, you can change the text in the shape.

Based on this we have modified the sample and it can be downloaded from the following link.
