powerpoint image (not shope) visible query

[wekkew]

Hi

PPT presentation contaning one label and one image control. Both of these were added via the Control Toolbox.

following code behind click event of label:

image1.visible = false

Now this is where the fun and games begins this code is def. being executed but the image doesn't disappear when the slideshow is running - it has disappeared though when I stop the slideshow and view the slide in design view. If I check the properties of image1 then visible has indeed been set to false.

If I modify the code to move the image or resize it - all is fine - it's just when I change the visible property!

have tried msoFalse but it makes no difference.

Did think that I might have to refresh/repaint/redraw screen but can't find appropriate commands.

Finally...
Please don't post an answer of "use a macro" - I know that I could use an action button with a shape and it would work but I need to do a lot more to this and that requires VBA so I'd like to solve the whole thing that way.

Thanks

ok ... well seemed to come up with a sort of fix of sorts

ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("Image1&quot.Visible = msoFalse


Although why I can't just say image1.visible = false when I can set so many other properties this way is beyond me.

ah well.
