Hi,

I'm using vc++ 6 to automate PowerPoint 2003 and like to know if user
has configured to use second monitor for slide show. Is there a
property for this in object SlideShowSettings or in some other places?

Thanks
Rob

I don't believe PPT exposes this through the OM but look at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.x\PowerPoint\Options

You can watch the registry after changing the settings in PPT. It'll update
immediately.

The interesting bits appear to be:

DisplayMonitor which display to use
UseMonMgr whether to use presenter view or not
