INF Can a button's OnAction invoke a system wide event?

INF Can a button's OnAction invoke a system wide event?

Please help,

I'm trying to add a button to a command bar in Word, Excel, and other
MS-Office products. Is there a way to set the "OnAction" to call some system
wide event, like a Hot Key? Or a mutex? Or something that another program can
then detect?

Example:

objMyCommandBarButton.OnAction = "=SendHotKey(""CTRL-X"")"

etc...

No, the OnAction command can only refer to a macro. That macro can in turn
do anything you can do in VBA.
