I want to execute some VBA addin (or possibly C# COM addin) code any
time that a user pastes data into an office document. To accomplish
this, I've added event handlers to the cut, copy and paste commands in
Excel. This is done by finding the commands (21, 19 and 22) in the
CommandBars collection by command ID and setting up "_Click" handlers
for each command. The default "Standard" toolbar contains a paste
control (ID 6002) that is a CommandBarPopup instead of a
CommandBarButton. Unfortunately, this popup type does not source any
events. I can successfully sink events from the items on the popup
menu from this popup button, but not from the button itself. How can
I get notification that this button has been clicked?
Any information would be greatly appreciated, I've tried everything I
can think of on this one. Please CC any responses to me via e-mail at
<[email protected]>.
Thanks!
