PptMcp.ComInterop

Low-level COM interop utilities for PowerPoint automation.

Overview

This library provides PowerPoint-specific COM object lifecycle management and OLE message filtering. It's the foundation layer for PptMcp projects, handling STA threading, session management, and batch operations specifically for PowerPoint COM automation.

Features

  • STA Threading Management - Ensures proper single-threaded apartment model for PowerPoint COM objects
  • COM Object Lifecycle - Automatic COM object cleanup and garbage collection
  • OLE Message Filtering - Handles busy/rejected COM calls with retry logic using Polly
  • PowerPoint Session Management - Manages PowerPoint.Application lifecycle safely
  • Batch Operations - Efficient handling of multiple PowerPoint operations in a single session

Usage Example

using PptMcp.ComInterop;

// Use PptSession for safe PowerPoint automation
await using var session = await PptSession.BeginAsync("path/to/presentation.pptx");
await using var batch = await session.BeginBatchAsync();

await batch.ExecuteAsync<int>(async (ctx, ct) => 
{
    // Access PowerPoint presentation through ctx.Book
    dynamic slides = ctx.Book.Slides;
    dynamic slide = slides.Item(1);
    
    // Perform PowerPoint operations
    slide.Name = "UpdatedSlide";
    
    return 0;
});

await batch.Save();

Key Classes

  • PptSession - Manages PowerPoint.Application lifecycle and presentation operations
  • PptBatch - Groups multiple operations for efficient execution
  • ComUtilities - Helper methods for COM object cleanup and safe property access
  • OleMessageFilter - Implements retry logic for busy PowerPoint instances
