Hello!

I have a very strange problem:

I try to change the active window (so change are applied to the right 
window if several windows are open) and therefore I wrote a method which 
searches for a special custom property and if it finds the needed one 
this presentation is activated (at last it should be!). The problem now 
is, that I cannont activate the presentations since Windows - Count is 0 
and I get an exception.

Can anybody give me a hint where the problem could be? My main problem 
is that I cant understand, why Windows collection can be 0 (I thought 
that at least one window has to be opened)?

Im using a Java-COM bridge to integrate Powerpoint in an ole container 
within my Java application.



Thanks in advance!


Source:
((_PresentationImpl) presentations.item(new 
Variant(1))).getWindows().item(new Int(1)).activate();

I thought that this piece of code should work alsways since there has 
always to be a least one presentation and one window but there is an 
exception thrown in getWindows since count is zero?!?
