FindControl() - get menu item name

[Nicu]

Hello!

I know maybe this was expanded on other threads but I searched and didn't
find exactly what I need so if you know a thread or a forum where I can find
answers please redirect me.

I want to intercept the click and CTRL+SHIFT+S and CTRL+S in Microsoft Word.
For the start, how can I get the menu entry "Save As..." from the "File"
menu? Then I will attach an event for click and I think this should do the
trick for the mouse clicks, for keyboard input I need to search more.

Thanks in advance,
Nicu

I'm using VSTO 2005 SE, Visual Studio 2005, .NET Framework 2.0 and Microsoft
Office 2003.

Ok, so I finally got the menu item(I think ) using:

//...
private Office.CommandBarButton btnSaveAsDefault;

//...
btnSaveAsDefault =
(Office.CommandBarButton)app.CommandBars["File"].Controls["Save As..."];

But why doesn't work this piece of code, I mean, when I press Save As...
button, nothing happens:

btnSaveAsDefault.Click += new
Office._CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(btnSaveAsDefault_Click);

Sigh... That didn't work. Anyone could help me please? So I just want to
access the Save As... button from the File menu in Word.

Thanks and looking forward in hearing from you.

Hi Nicu,

I want to intercept the click and CTRL+SHIFT+S and CTRL+S in Microsoft Word.

I'm using VSTO 2005 SE, Visual Studio 2005, .NET Framework 2.0 and Microsoft
Office 2003.

I'm afraid this is going to be a problem. Keyboard shortcuts can only be
intercepted using a VBA procedure - they can't be mapped to code in an outside
project. You also can't intercept the "click" events of built-in control
buttons.

About the best you can do for Office 2003 is to trap the BeforeSave event.

Thank you for your reply!
I see, I will give it a try with the BeforeSave event then.
