Hi All,
XL 2K Sp3
I have a sheet with several charts on it, that I want to prevent the user
from being able to select the charts (I don't want the chart to be copied as
a chart, as it seems to cause problems)
I set the .protectselection (and .protectformatting, .protectdata, and the
charts' parent chartobject.protectchartobject) properties of my charts to
true and I protect the sheet they are embedded on with drawingobjects:=true.
But, because I am doing some event handling on these charts I need to set
the charts' locked property = false, or else the mouse click events don't
happen.
The problem, if I hold the shift or ctrl button down and then click on the
chart, no event fires, and I am able to select it and can ctrl-c copy it.
I can prevent it by changing the .locked = false to be .locked =true, but
then the charts' mouse click events do not happen. is there a way to catch
or prevent this?
TIA,
Mike.
