trapping click events on shapes
I'm trying to trap mouse clicks on a shape that is on a
Worksheet. The SheetBeforeRightClick Event traps mouse clicks over cells but not over the shape - any suggestions for a solution? |

Hi Matt, The only way to do this is to assign a macro to the OnAction property of the shape. This will run the specified macro whenever the user clicks on the shape. There's no way that I know of to trap a right-click over a shape. -- Rob Bovey, MCSE, MCSD, Excel MVP Application Professionals http://www.appspro.com/ * Please post all replies to this newsgroup * * I delete all unsolicited e-mail responses * |

trapping click events on shapes
Hi Bob
This problem has also frustrated me, although I only need "GotFocus". Would it be possible to "Class" for any object including shapes on the activesheet and get the GotFocus event. To compound problems my code is not in the active workbook. TIA Sandy -----Original Message----- "Matt I" wrote in message ... I'm trying to trap mouse clicks on a shape that is on a Worksheet.

To compound problems my code is not in the active workbook. Hi Sandy, The GotFocus event only applies to ActiveX controls and is inherited by those controls from the Worksheet container object. This means there is no way to trap the GotFocus event outside the code module of the Worksheet hosting the control. It can't be trapped at all for other kinds of shapes because it doesn't apply to shapes that aren't ActiveX controls. -- Rob Bovey, MCSE, MCSD, Excel MVP Application Professionals http://www.appspro.com/ * Please post all replies to this newsgroup * * I delete all unsolicited e-mail responses * |
