Windows API for PowerPoint Presentaion Mode

[Juergen Geiss]

Is there any chance to find out if a PowerPoint presentation is running in
presentation mode?

I am writing some tools (using native C/C++ and Windows SDK) and they must
stop working to disturb the user if he/she is in a PowerPoint presentation.

Thanx in advance

How are you notifying them?
The normal rules are not to steal focus, and not use the "on top of
world and dog" flag.
This should allow your app to play nicely with any other app that users
full screen too.
