Passing Parameters

[wfb]

I have a PowerPoint Slide used in a training course. The slide ha
information boxes about an application feature that appear vi
animations when users click on powerpoint objects such as a rectangl
that is on the screen. I also have a macro that runs simultaneousl
when users click on the rectangle(called via the rectangle's actio
settings) that writes some information to the registry. Th
information in the registry is just basically a flag that indicate
whether or not the user has clicked on the rectangle. This tells m
that they've looked at every feature I want them to try.

My question is this: Is there a way to pass some parameters to thi
macro so I don't have to have a subroutine(macro) for every object o
the slide that I would like the user to click? If I were able to pas
a parameter, obviously I could then have a generic routine that woul
simply read the parameters being passed and subsequently write th
proper info the registry.

Thanks for any help you can offer in advance

wfb,
Look on the following page http://www.mvps.org/skp/vba.htm for a routine
which determines which shape was clicked.
With that you can map all the shapes to a generic routine and have a select
case statement within the routines or pass arguments as required.

You can pass a shape parameter to a click-macro. Read Dokumentation of .Run
- method for details, e.g.

Sub ShapeWasClicked(sh as shape)
MsgBox sh.name & "was been clicked"
End Sub
