Hello Chris,

We already talked about this issue with that project. Here's my response; see my email sent on 5-Jan-2022; the subject is "RE: Add-in Express.com feedback: Is it possible to develop COM Add-ins to support embedding WebViewer in PowerPoint {ID:431131547}"

I reproduce the issue. I suppose it relates to Microsoft switching from Internet Explorer to Chromium. But, in fact, I don?Â?Ð?ét know what causes it.
I?Â?Ð?éve checked whether this approach works at all. I?Â?Ð?éve replaced "Shell.Explorer.2" with "Forms.CommandButton.1" (this is also demonstrated at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/powerpoint.shapes.addoleobject) and found it working: this puts a button onto the sheet.
That is, the machinery itself works. But the ClassName parameter set to "Shell.Explorer.2" doesn?Â?Ð?ét. That means, you can try to find a ProgId (see the page above) that suits your needs.


I don't think that we can help you with this issue as it doesn't relate to our specialization: as you know we do Office extensions.

Thinking about my suggestion above, I suppose you can use WebView2 but 1) this is a guess, and 2) I know nothing about WebView2.

Also, I would suggest that you try to do this in the PowerPoint UI. If it works, do the same while recording a VBA macro in *Excel*; the macro will provide you with method call(s) and parameters: PowerPoint requires almost the same parameters.

Hi Andrei,

thank you for your help, I have successfully inserted the chrome browser into slide. I have another question: how to register event handle for a shape to listen resize, drag or drop event.
        PowerPoint.Shape webBrowserShape = null;
        private void adxRibbonButton1_OnClick(object sender, IRibbonControl control, bool pressed)
        {
            webBrowserShape =
            PowerPointApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddOLEObject(
                144,
                138,
                480,
                360,
                "Shell.Explorer.2",
                "",
                Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse,
                "",
                -1,
                "",
                Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);
           //register event handle for the PowerPointApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes
        }
