Handling mouse events on the page strip at bottom of window

[Paul M]

I am developing a WinForms app using Visio 2007 automation. I added (via
AddAdvise) a handler for mouse-down events (for example, so I can use my own
context menu on shapes). But I can't seem to handle mouse-down events on the
"page strip" at the bottom of the window. No matter what I do, a right-click
there always brings up the Insert Page (etc.) context menu, which I need to
disable. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Mouse events in Visio is limited on Drawing.
Last way might be windows api.

1. You can remove "insert page" menu by simply setting your own custom
menus for the document.
(with removed context menu at visUIObjSetCntx_PageTabs).
Here is an example that removes this menu from the active document:

Set custom_menus = Application.BuiltInMenus
custom_menus.MenuSets.ItemAtID(visUIObjSetCntx_PageTabs).Menus.Item(0).Delete
ActiveDocument.SetCustomMenus (custom_menus)
custom_menus.UpdateUI

2. To be able to capture mouse events on the tab strip you
might need to start "hooking and subclassing" (c) visio with windows
api.

Kind regards, Nikolay.
