Hi Neil,

We are not using the ActiveX control. However, our way of handling context
menus may be applicable for you:

1. We have inserted a User property into the shape. Let's say its name is
"User.ACTION_NUMBER".
2. We inserted the following formula into the "Action" column of the context
menu table: "SETF(GetRef(User.ACTION_NUMBER);22)" where 22 is known by our
.NET application as the number of a specific context menu function.

Now, when you click on the context menu item, Visio puts the value 22 into
the cell "User.ACTION_NUMBER". This fires a CellChanged event.
Our application receives this event, reads the new cell value 22 and
processes the function that is associated with this number.

Best regards,
Markus
