MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2005How to detect if autotext entry is showing?
Hi, I have defined some autotext entries: when I type some text, the autotext entry is showing, and when I hit Enter the entry is inserted in the document. Now I have created a KeyBinding for the Enter key: when the Enter key is hit, a specific macro is executed. My question is: how can I detect in that macro if the autotext entry is showing? Thanks for help Henk hstijnen was telling us: hstijnen nous racontait que : > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Now I have created a KeyBinding for the Enter key: when the Enter key > is hit, a specific macro is executed. My question is: how can I What are you doing with the Enter key? As a user it would bother me in the extreme if my Enter key did not act as expected.... This is why I never bind it. > detect in that macro if the autotext entry is showing? I do not think you can do that easily. The only way I can see is to monitor the Selection_Change event, and consistently check if the last 4 characters are used in the first 4 characters of all autotext entries that are available right now (Normal.dot, current document template and all global templates). Way too much overhead....

Not that I know of. The Enter key is pretty standard in all aplications, it adds line breaks or execute code behind a selected object. Again, what are you trying to do? SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org ...what are you trying to do? I've made a keybinding and macro to intercept the Enter. The goal is when one is creating a list (bulleted, numbered), and hits Enter when the (last) item is empty, the list is ended and the correct style is set (to create distance between text and list). Thisworks pretty well. BTW, I found that the autotext entry is also inserted when one hits TAB, so that my problem has disappeared. Thank you for your interest.

Thisworks pretty well. Interesting... If you have 5 minutes and don't mind, could you share your code? SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Hi Jean-Guy, By occasion I've found the answer for my Enterkey problem in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q187985/ the key code is: CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyReturn), _ KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryMacro, Command:="Normal.styles.EnterKeyMacro" and in Normal.styles.EnterKeyMacro I can place the code I want: if one hits Enter in a bulleted list and the paragraph is empty, then I only change the style of the paragraph. In all other cases I do a TypeParagraph. I run the above code in Normal.dot and then all docs on normal.dot have the desired binding. Cheers, Henk > hstijnen was telling us: > hstijnen nous racontait que : [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Interesting... > If you have 5 minutes and don't mind, could you share your code? |
