How do I pass control to VBA without mouse click

[Gilgamesh]

I have a button in a presentation (this can be changed if need be) and I
want control to pass to a VBA macro when the mouse passes over the button
but before the mouse is clicked. Is there any way I can do this?
I thought of the GotFocus event for the button but this requires it to be
clicked first.

Thanks

Select your button and in the VBA interface select "MouseOver" instead of On
Clinck.

Select your button and in the VBA interface select "MouseOver" instead of
On Clinck.

Unfortunately there is no MouseOver in the VBA interface (at least in 2007,
I haven't tried 2003).
I never tried to use OnClick because its obvious that wouldn't work, I tried
OnFocus but that also requied a click.

You must have a control button, not a regular Auto Shape button. You can
set the Action Settings for an AutoShape button (or any other regular
shape) to activate either on click or on mouse over. I don't believe
there are mouse over options for control buttons.

Sounds like you have an ActiveX button.

Instead, draw a regular shape (it can be one of PPT's action button
autoshapes or pretty much anything else).

Assign it a mouseover action setting of Run Macro and pick the macro you
want to run.

MsgBox "Bingo!"

This works.
Thank You
