Sub DisplayAddins

Dim lTotalAddins As Long Dim oAddIn As AddIn

' Used to build the dialog box. Dim strPrompt As String Dim strAvailable As String Dim strLoaded As String Dim strTitle As String

' Get the total number of Addins. lTotalAddins = PowerPoint.AddIns.Count

If lTotalAddins = 1 Then

' One add-in available strTitle = "One Add-In" strPrompt = oAddIn.FullName

Else

' Set up the title for the dialog box. strTitle = lTotalAddins & " Add-Ins Available"

' Set the loaded and available list. strLoaded = "Loaded: " & Chr(13) strAvailable = Chr(13) & "Available: " & Chr(13)

' Loop through the add-ins collection. For Each oAddIn In PowerPoint.AddIns

If oAddIn.Loaded = msoTrue Then

strLoaded = strLoaded & Chr(9) & oAddIn.FullName _ & Chr(13)
