When a slideshow running in PowerPoint I want to control the movement (Next and Previous) of the slides. Of course it is possible with the > and < button on the keyboard, but is there any way in which I can have a custom application listening to the Next and Previous controls?
My custom application has nothing but 2 buttons, next and previous, when I click either, the button's event handler should pass the control to the PowerPoint application running the slideshow. And thus, PowerPoint will move the slideshow back or forward?
Somewhat similar to the way remote, wireless PowerPoint Presenters work on the s/w end.

This avoids the need to ask the presenter to change the slide when they are ready, interrupting the flow of the meeting and presentation. Slide control can be given to multiple participants in a meeting, or multiple panelists in a webinar.
To insert an object, click Insert > Shapes and select the shape you want. To lock the shape you just inserted, right- click it and then click Lock on the shortcut menu, or click the Selection Pane button on the Shape Format menu, and then click the Lock icon to the right of the object name.
Share your presentation with others and collaborate on it at the same time. in the top-right corner of the ribbon when you're ready to collaborate. If you haven't saved your presentation to OneDrive or SharePoint in Microsoft 365, PowerPoint prompts you to do so now.
Yeah, totally doable. The event you want is SlideShowNextSlide - you can read more about it here. For C# and PowerPoint-specific, this is a great article: How to handle PowerPoint events with Visual C# .NET.
Also, this search on SO turns up some good reading and things to watch out for. Finally, I don't know if C# has one, but there is a "Remotely Controlling PowerPoint" sample in both VS2008/VS2010 for VB.NET that is probably easy enough to port to C# - here's the info page on it.
