In slide edit, click an image to run a VBA routine

L

Lars

I must develop a VBA routine that will open a user form when I click on any
one of several images on an existing slide (not the Slide Master), while in
edit mode. The user form allows me to select another image from a folder and,
when validating by OK, replaces the picture in the image control by the new
one. VBA code attached to an image control runs when in SlideView mode but
not in Edit mode. Can anyone give me some pointers ? Any help will be MOST
appreciated !

In addition to what Steve said. If you are using the event handling approach
then

- Keep the event handling code to the minimum.
- Turn the event handling off while you are processing the event and reset
it back when done.
- You may run into an issue where the shape will move around as you move
your cursor after the macro is done running. To work around this either
unselect the shape programmatically or switch views and restore back.

Thanks Steve, for your suggestions. Adding a user-defined Menu item was one
approach I tried but, unlike MS Word templates, the new menu item will not
appear if the PowerPoint template is run on another PC. If the toolbar
attached to this template does appear when run on other PCs, that will open a
good path of investigation. I appreciate your help with this project and I
will keep you posted with the results.
