PowerPoint 2003 AddIns does not work in PowerPoint 2007

[LostMyBrain]

Hi,

I have a simple AddIns for PowerPoint that I wrote and it works fine on
version 2003. However, when trying to run it on 2007 it does not work as
expected.

In order to debug the problem, I removed all the non-relevant code and ended
up with a simple AddIns that open a form with two buttons "OK","Cancel". Once
the user press "OK" it creates a rectangular shape on the current slide and
close the form. As part of the code, this macro attaches a tag to the
rectangular so that when the user double-clicks on this shape it reopen the
form, but this time the buttons are "Work","Cancel".

In both 2003, 2007 the first part works fine and the new rectangular is
added to the slide. However, in 2007 the second part does not work.
Double-clicking the rectangular brings the picture toolbar and does not open
the form as expected. In 2003 it works find.

I can attach my .ppt file (and also the .ppa file) - but I don't see how to
attach files to this question.

Thank you.

Hi,

Here it is (using export option)
I attached 3 text files the Macros, MyForm and the section responsible for
trapping the double-click event.

Thanks.

WindowBeforeDoubleClick and WindowBeforeRightClick events don't work anymore
on the Slide itself. They work only in other views.

Can you suggest me how to fix my code for 2007?
Is there any method that will work on both versions as is ?
