Handle PowerPoint Presenter View object Events programmatically in Vb.net

Question

I created Add-In for PowerPoint which is working great in single screen but I need to use now double screen (Extended Mode) which has some issues and In my Add-In of PowerPoint, How can I handle the events of Presenter View Objects in Vb.net? lets suppose I want to control the events of these objects in presenter view pointed by red rectangles.

I want that when user click on presenter view object so my code should run rather than PowerPoint code.

Could someone please tell me how can I handle or can refer link.

You can add event handler like you do in regular .Net applications.

Take a look at the How to handle PowerPoint events by using Visual Basic .NET 2003 article which explains how to handle Microsoft Office PowerPoint events by using Microsoft Visual Basic .NET. The sample code is included.

    'Start PowerPoint and then make the PowerPoint window visible but minimized.
    oApp = New PowerPoint.Application

    'Add event handlers.
    AddHandler oApp.SlideShowBegin, AddressOf oApp_SlideShowBegin
    AddHandler oApp.SlideShowNextSlide, AddressOf oApp_SlideShowNextSlide
    AddHandler oApp.PresentationClose, AddressOf oApp_PresentationClose

    'Event Handlers

    Private Sub oApp_SlideShowBegin(ByVal Wn As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.SlideShowWindow)

    End Sub

    Private Sub oApp_SlideShowNextSlide(ByVal Wn As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.SlideShowWindow)

    End Sub

    Private Sub oApp_PresentationClose(ByVal Pres As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentation)


    End Sub
