Re: Intercepting right mouse click - MS Word 2000>

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Customize the relevant right click (Short cut) menu(s) by adding a button
that calls the macro that causes the form to be displayed.

To do that, select Customize from the Tools menu and then go to the Toolbars
tab of the Customize dialog and check the "Shortcut Menus" toolbar. Then go
to the Commands tab and from the Macros Categorym select the command (macro)
and drag it onto the expanded short cut toolbar(s)

Hope this helps.

Hi All
This is probably getting outside Word, but its Word and VBA I'm working
with.

I need to intercept a right mouse click when editing a word document and
then showing a form (VB/VBA) of my own.
I have experimented with Spy++ (distributed with VB6) and while I can see
messages from other mouse clicks, I cannot see any WM_RBUTTONxxx messages
from a right mouse click.
I suspect this is because Word may be intercepting the message before
Spy++
sees it.

I'm at (if not beyond!) my programming ability with this so any pointers
greatly appreciated.

Ian B
