Hello,
I've asked that question before but that thread appears dead now.
My applications is developed in vbasic5.
I need for it to get Windows notification when user clicks on the cell and
retrieve the cell value.

I did exactly as Rob van Gelder advised me in the another thread.
1. I installed Excel and load the reference to Excel Object Library in my
vbasic5 code.
2. I created Class1 module and put the following code in there.
---------------
Public WithEvents app As Excel.Application

Private Sub app_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As
Range)
MsgBox "Selection Changed"
End Sub
--------------------
3. I put the another code in Form_Load of my app:
--------------------
Dim cls As New Class1, wkb As Excel.Workbook

Set cls.app = New Excel.Application

Set wkb = cls.app.Workbooks.Add
wkb.Worksheets(1).Cells(10, 10).Select
MsgBox ActiveCell.Value
wkb.Close
cls.app.Quit
Set cls.app = Nothing
Set cls = Nothing
-------------------

When I start my app I have message: "Selection changed" (although I did
nothing to my Excel sheet) followed by the empty message box (MsgBox
ActiveCell.Value).
When I select another cell in Excel there is not any notification my app is
aware of.
It looks like ActiveCell.Value is not able to retrieve the cell value

What I need is:
1. Get notified the user clicked on Excel cell
2. Retrieve the value of that cell

Please help,
Jack

Jack,

You'll probably need a reference to Excel Object Library.

To answer your other e-mail

In a class module (in this example called Class1)
Public WithEvents app As Excel.Application

Private Sub app_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As
Range)
MsgBox "Selection Changed"
End Sub


Then somewhere in your code:
Sub test()
Dim cls As New Class1, wkb As Excel.Workbook

Set cls.app = New Excel.Application

Set wkb = cls.app.Workbooks.Add
wkb.Worksheets(1).Cells(10, 10).Select

wkb.Close
cls.app.Quit
Set cls.app = Nothing
Set cls = Nothing
End Sub

Thank you, but I need more help.
I tried your line in my vbasic5 but it is complaining about ActiveCell
:
"Variable not defined"
I guess I need to load some reference or component. What is it?

I am not user of Excel and I am not familiar with it at
all.

Please advise how can I do that.
