Microsoft Office Forums - View Single Post - Receive Powerpoint Slide Data by Drag and Drop from Powerpoint to Java App

jike27 · 12-03-2015, 08:38 PM

I've written most of a Java Application that is intended to receive the file path and slide number of slides that are dragged onto it.

The data received via a Drag Event is as follows:

Code:

    [PowerPoint 12.0 Internal Slides]           java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=8 cap=8]
    [PowerPoint 12.0 Internal Color Scheme]     java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=8 cap=8]
    [InShellDragLoop]                           java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=4 cap=4]
    [ActiveClipBoard]                           java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=56 cap=56]
    [Object Descriptor]                         java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=296 cap=296]
    [PowerPoint 12.0 Internal Theme]            java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=8 cap=8]
    [ms-stuff/preferred-drop-effect]            java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=4 cap=4]
    [Link Source Descriptor]                    java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=296 cap=296]

I can't seem to find any more documentation on this. How can I go about accessing the data I need?

Is there any documentation on this that would yield insight?
