Hello, I am doing an application in which I launch Office App like Word, PowerPoint etc
So, I did for the Word App but now I am doing for the Powerpoint App but I don't know how to put an event on the exit of an instance of Powerpoint and also create an instance of Powerpoint.
Here is what I did for the Word App:

using wd = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

    wd.Application wdApp = new wd.Application();
    wdApp.Visible = true;

    ((wd.ApplicationEvents4_Event)wdApp).Quit += () => { MessageBox.Show("Exited!"); };

What I have tried:

I did for the Word App but not for the Powerpoint App how could I do it ?

Have you tried changing

using wd = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

To

using wd = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Powerpoint

A list of avaliable event for MS PowerPoint application is here: Application Events (Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint)[^]

As per description of events, you may use: EApplication_Event.PresentationClose Event (Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint)[^]
