When Creating a Slide from a Layout, the Placeholders Are Changed to Text Areas

Hi,

I’m creating slides from existing layouts. In the layout I have several placeholders of Text and Image types. When creating the slides using:
newSlide = templatePres->get_Slides()->AddEmptySlide(layout)

all the placeholders are converted to textboxes/images and I’m getting the “temporary” text as a fixed text in the shape.

What I need:
desiredSlide.png (2.8 KB)

What I’m getting from code:
result.png (3.2 KB)

is there a different API to create a slide from a layout, and not fill the placeholder with the original placeholder text?
