Adding commands to the Excel 2007 Chart context menu

[Andreas]

Hi, NG,

In Excel 2003 to add a command to the Excel 2007 Chart context menu you add
your command to the commands in CommandBars("Object/Plot").

In Excel 2007 this does not work, the commands are not added, and there
seems to be no other command bar I can use to add commands to the Excel 2007
Chart context menu.

Any idea how to customize the Excel 2007 Chart context menu?

Thanks,

Andreas

I have asked this and the answer is:

You can't.

Apparently when they converted the chart elements into the gaudy new Office
shapes, the Office group took over control of much of the chart stuff. They
decided not to allow the context menus of charts or shapes to be
configurable.

I wish some of these design decisions had been made by actual users.
