Working with PowerPoint Documents

Displaying PowerPoint Documents

The ImGearPowerPointDocument can be created and processed in any thread with any apartment state: STA or MTA. If they also need to be displayed, then there are some concepts which should be taken into account:

In WPF display scale mode the calling thread must use the STA apartment state, which is a requirement of Windows Presentation Foundation. ImageGear will create a WPF Canvas in the context of this calling thread to render the document pages for display.
In Native display scale mode, which is the default for ImageGear, there are no restrictions for displaying PowerPoint pages in a multi-threaded environment.
