Right click intercept

[Guest]

First of all, thanks to everyone that takes the time to help.

My question: Is there a way to modify the right click menu when working in
the presentation mode. For instance, when I right click on a shape, I am
provided a popup menu with several different options. Would I would like to
do is add other options on the right click menu. Or maybe hide the sytem
right click menu and insert my own. I was thinking it was part of the
commandbars collection but I haven't been able to find it if it is.

Thanks so much.

You are able to add and delete items from the right click menus.

Tools>customize>tick shortcut menu
Expand the draw>shapes dropdown and you should be able to drag commands on
or off.

John,

Thanks so much. I Googled this and searched the MSDN but couldn't find
anything about this. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to be find
this kind of information; i.e. subscriptions (which one), DSKs, etc?

Again, thanks so much for your help.

Burnsie,
Create an event handler for the PowerPoint app. It exposes the
BeforeRightClick event which you can trap. Check out the programming section
of the PPTFAQ - www.pptfaq.com for an example of creating an eventhandler.

Which view do you mean by "presentation mode"? If in Slide Show view, you get
the same popup whether you click on or off a shape.

Slide view/Normal view maybe?

Does this help?

Steve,

I guess I should have said, "when I am designing my slides". Adding shapes,
pictures, text boxes, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I learn more and more every time I
come to this site.

Thanks,

No problem. That'd be normal or slide view then, so the links Shyam and I sent you
should be just the thing.
