onclick events

[vera]

Can someone point me in the right direction, please? Is it
possible to add events to the objects placed in a word
document? This is the behavior I want in the document. I
want to click on an icon and display a picture, I'm
thinking that terminology is collapse maybe? Then I want
to click on the picture and have it not display. I haven't
the foggiest idea where to start with this...

Hi Vera,

I'm not too sure what you're exactly trying to do. It sounds like a simple
hyperlink.

You could insert some simple icon (or WordArt...), right-click, and make it
a "Hyperlink..." to some graphics file.
If you follow the hyperlink (Ctrl+click in Word2002/2003), the graphics file
opens.

Or you might check out macrobutton fields:
{ MACROBUTTON <insert_your_icon_here> Show_Pic }

Double-clicking the icon would start the macro "Sub Show_Pic()", which in
turn could start a graphics program like "MSPaint" with the picture you
want.
Look at the Shell command for how to do this; something like

Sub Show_Pic()
Dim strPicturePath As String
strPicturePath = """C:\myPicture.JPG"""
Shell PathName:="MSPaint.exe " _
& strPicturePath, WindowStyle:=vbMaximizedFocus
End Sub

Then I want to click on the picture and have it not display.

In both the methods above, you'd have to close the graphics program to
continue working in Word.

Greetings,
Klaus

Klaus,

After a little looking around this afternoon, I think I
can do what I want by adding an onclick event to an
activex image object. Not sure yet, have to prototype.

The next question I have, and I'm going to post this as a
new thread is:

I'm creating a Word document in VB6. I'm pretty sure that
I can add the forms ActiveX components to the Word
document. Is there any way to add a code module or the
event code for these components to the Word document from
VB6? I can't seem to find a module object and I'm thinking
maybe the modules aren't really associated with the
document, but with the document's project? Am I correct?
Am I confused? Please help, I'm just really new at this
Word VBA thing.
