Switch your app to a .net assembly. You can then use a custom tool
palette in 2k5-2k6 which has plenty of events.

Thats on the to-do list, but was hoping to eak out one last project that
would be 2002/2004 compatible also.
Thanks, Terry

| An accurate statement - it doesn't have the property. You need a workaround API call to get the value. |

I have a solution that is fairly simple, uses a few API calls and a callback function to intercept windows messages.
The only problem is that it hangs occasionally. I'm not sure why. When it hangs I usually hit Ctrl-Break and go to debug mode and then F5 to continue.
Maybe this solution is not too compatible with VBA or maybe someone can suggest an improvement.
The idea came from here:

Looks dangerous. I'd rather use a refresh button than introduce
instability.

Well, the code is very simple so maybe the solution is simple. I am curious to know if you tried it and saw what I was talking about.
I think the instability only comes when you click on the titlebar to activate the form. So if the reason for that can be determined you would have an excellent solution.
Also, its possible that expanding the subclassing procedure could be used to completely replace the AcFocusCtrl16.dll component. |
