Remarks

The following example shows how to change Text in Placeholder.

// Instantiates a Presentation class
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"ReplacingText.pptx");

// Accesses the first slide
auto slide = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);

// Iterates through shapes to find the placeholder
for (auto&& shape : slide->get_Shapes())
{
    if (shape->get_Placeholder() != nullptr)
    {
        // Changes the text in each placeholder
        (System::ExplicitCast<IAutoShape>(shape))->get_TextFrame()->set_Text(u"This is a Placeholder");
    }
}

// Saves the presentation to disk
pres->Save(u"output_out.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);

The following example shows how to set Prompt Text in Placeholder.

auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"Presentation2.pptx");

auto slide = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);
for (auto&& shape : slide->get_Slide()->get_Shapes())
{
    if (shape->get_Placeholder() != nullptr && System::ObjectExt::Is<AutoShape>(shape))
    {
        System::String text = u"";
        if (shape->get_Placeholder()->get_Type() == PlaceholderType::CenteredTitle)
        {
            text = u"Add Title";
        }
        else if (shape->get_Placeholder()->get_Type() == PlaceholderType::Subtitle)
        {
            text = u"Add Subtitle";
        }

        (System::ExplicitCast<IAutoShape>(shape))->get_TextFrame()->set_Text(text);

        System::Console::WriteLine(System::String::Format(u"Placeholder with text: {0}", text));
    }
}

pres->Save(u"Placeholders_PromptText.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
