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

How can I track the chart mouse events?
I believe the chart is selected in shape edit mode at that point and as you
say, doesn't fire events. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "george_scortaru" <george_scortaru.1zq0ey_1134044102.865@excelforu m-nospam.com wrote in message news:george_scortaru.1zq0ey_1134044102.865@excelfo rum-nospam.com...

How can I track the chart mouse events?
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 Regards, Peter T "george_scortaru" <george_scortaru.1zq0ey_1134044102.865@excelforu m-nospam.com wrote in message news:george_scortaru.1zq0ey_1134044102.865@excelfo rum-nospam.com...

In the scenario provided (using ctrl+click), none of the popups in your
second suggestion would appear. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Peter T" <peter_t@discussions wrote in message ...

How can I track the chart mouse events?
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. regards, Peter T "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

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