MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008WindowBeforeDoubleClick Event Not Firing in PowerPoint 2007 Macro
I have a set of macros that contains an event handler for the WindowBeforeDoubleClick event. This class method has been working fine in 2003 for a year or so. Today I migrated to Office 2007, and the event doesn't appear to be firing. I have handlers for other events (PresentationClose, PresentationBeforeSave, AfterPresentationOpen, e.g.) and they appear to be operating as they did in the previous version. Is there anything different about the WindowBeforeDoubleClick event in 2007? I need some way to recognize the selection of a shape with a certain tag - if I can't do it with a double-click, can you suggest an alternative that's just as easy on my users? Thanks.

SelectionChange should do it, though you might need some extra logic to deal with what's been selected. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ > > I have a set of macros that contains an event handler for the > > WindowBeforeDoubleClick event.

I'd already thought of that, but I'm using that event for other purposes (sensing when a new slide is being viewed in Normal mode) and I didn't want to fool around with that code. I guess I may have to. However, that leaves unanswered the more basic question: why don't WindowBeforeDoubleClick and WindowBeforeRightClock fire? I've read the documentation on events in 2007, and those events are there, and there's no verbiage saying anything about them behaving differently. Got any insight on that issue?

Double-click on shapes doesn't really do anything. Right-click menus cannot be customized anyways, so I think that may have been left out too.

Hmm, we've used the right click event to successfully replace the context menu with our own since Office 2000 in both Word and PowerPoint. Works pretty well (with the excpetion of PowerPoint 2007). I was really surprised the PP dev team hadn't fixed that in SP1. Does anyone know if a fix is in the works? By the way: Our Add-In is C++, but the right click issue can easily be reproduced with VBA too.

Do you mean the WindowSelectionChange event? If so, I'm now using that, and it's identical code to what I had for the WindowBeforeDoubleClick event handler. I don't think I knew about that event, so many thanks. (I lied in my previous response - I was thinking about slide change events.) One more thing: Was WindowSelectionChange an event that could be handled in 2003? I'm worried now about backward compatibility, since most of my users are on 2003.

Yes ... sorry for the incorrect terminology.

Yep, it works back to 2000, in fact. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ > One more thing: Was WindowSelectionChange an event that could be handled in > 2003?
