It appears he knows how to do that except in the stated case:

When user clicks a chart, the Chart object is selected and the
Chart class provides events for selection and mouse actions.

My understanding is the OP wants to cater for any right click on a chart.
The list of popups in the "second" suggestion may be activated when user
clicks somewhere on the chart that was not selected as a chartobject with
Ctrl.

However to add or correct from my previous post -

The "Shapes" bar is only useful if multiple chartobjects (shapes) are
selected. For a single chartobject it would be the "Inactive Chart" bar.

In the scenario provided (using ctrl+click), none of the popups in your
second suggestion would appear.

Hi George,

Maybe you could also add a button to the "Shapes" popup commandbar to
cater
for when chartobject(s) is/are selected. If user clicks your button
would
need to ensure it only works with charts.

To add right click item for whenever user right-clicks on a chart
would
involve adding (& removing) buttons to all the chart right-click
popups,
here are some to consider -

Chart
Floor and Walls
Format Axis
Format Data Series
Format Legend Entry
Formula Bar
Inactive Chart
Object/Plot
Plot Area
Series
Trendline

Peter T

Hi,
I am using some charts embedded in Excel worksheets and I need to
track
the selection and mouse events. The Chart element is contained in a
ChartObject container. Both Chart and ChartObject can be selected by
user. When user clicks a chart, the Chart object is selected and the
Chart class provides events for selection and mouse actions. If the
CTRL key is pressed before clicking the chart, the ChartObject is
selected and the context menu and the wire frame are different, the
ChartObject does not provide any event because it is an interface
rather than a class. Can you give me a clue how can I track the
mouse
and selection events when the ChartObject is selected? My purpose is
to
create a custom context menu that will be displayed any time the
user
right clicks the chart, even if the chart is part o a multiple
selection.
Thank you,
George
