ActiveWindow vs ActivePresentation. Is there the same, just other object type?

[Jamualson]

Seems to me that a Presentation is in a window, so it's the ActivePresentation and ActiveWindow object at the same time. There can be no ActiveWindow object with 2 ActivePresentation object in them.

So these 2 objects refer to the same things, just gives different possibilites and properties to set. Is this correct?

Thank you very much

I am assuming you are talking about PowerPoint here.

DocumentWindow is one class (ActiveWindow is a member of that class). Presentation is another class (ActivePresentation is a member of that class) that is associated with one or more DocumentWindow objects. These two objects have a relationship but do not refer to the same things. If you are editing a Presentation you can go to View, New Window and now the Presentation has two DocumentWindow objects. I have seen one situation in Excel where ActiveWorkbook is not in ActiveWindow.

If two objects have different "possibilities" (not really sure what you meant by that), different methods, and different properties, they are not the same object (unless we are talking about subclassing features of object-oriented languages that are generally lacking in VBA).
