VBA Macro

What this page is about

Add, access, and remove VBA macros in PowerPoint presentations using Aspose.Slides for Python via Java with clear, practical code examples.

This article demonstrates how to add, access, and remove VBA macros using Aspose.Slides for Python via Java.

Install the package as described in Installation. Each example imports asposeslides before starting the JVM, then imports the API after the JVM is running.

Add a VBA Macro

Create a presentation with a VBA project and a simple macro module.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation, VbaProject

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    presentation.setVbaProject(VbaProject())

    module = presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().addEmptyModule("Module")
    module.setSourceCode('Sub Test()\n MsgBox "Hi" \nEnd Sub')
finally:
    presentation.dispose()

Access a VBA Macro

Retrieve the first module from the VBA project.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation, VbaProject

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    presentation.setVbaProject(VbaProject())

    module = presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().addEmptyModule("Module")
    module.setSourceCode('Sub Test()\n MsgBox "Hi" \nEnd Sub')

    first_module = presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().get_Item(0)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()

Remove a VBA Macro

Delete a module from the VBA project.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation, VbaProject

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    presentation.setVbaProject(VbaProject())

    module = presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().addEmptyModule("Module")
    module.setSourceCode('Sub Test()\n MsgBox "Hi" \nEnd Sub')

    presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().remove(module)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
