can't undo when Sub EditPaste is overriden?

[saint]

hi, i was overriding EditPaste, then after some manipulation call
Selection.Paste and pasting works fine.

However I noticed that in doing so, Undo feature is not available (grayed
out) and says "Can't Undo" instead of the usual "Undo Paste".

Should there be any code needed on the override to make this work?

I tested your situation with:

Sub EditPaste()

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Range.Copy
Selection.Paste

End Sub

After I hit CTRL-V to paste, my undo list allowed me to undo the paste
action. In fact, the first item in the undo list was:
VBA-Selection.Paste

So, there is something else going on. You wrote
" hi, i was overriding EditPaste, then after some manipulation call"
I would bet that the answer lies in the "some manipulation" part. We would
need to see that code (I assume you mean that those manipulations are done
through VBA).

Unfortunately, the manipulation is actually done using C# (vsto). Involves a
managed object. It is in the C# that I call Selection.Paste

I tested Selection.Paste in VBA and works fine indeed, I removed any
manipulation in the c# method called and just included Selection.Paste but
still no luck.

You're right. I think I was doing something wrong when I tested
Selection.Paste in C#. Now it displays Undo VBA-Selection.Paste if that's the
only code in the method called. So it must be in the "manipulation" section.

I'll guess I now have to figure out what is really causing it.

Thanks a lot.

Good luck.

Since you are using C#, you may want to post in the office.developer group.
