Is there a way to tell PowerPoint not to open Excel when creating charts?
问题 Slide.Shapes.AddChart() automatically opens Excel. Even if I quickly do Chart.ChartData.Workbook.Application.Visible = false , it still shows a little while. This makes automating chart creation error-prone as the user has to try not to touch the Excel applications that keeps popping up. Opening a presentation with WithWindow = false will still open Excel when creating new charts. 回答1: This behavior is "by design" and Microsoft is not interested in changing. This is the way the UI functions.
