WindowBeforeRightClick Event

Microsoft Word Visual Basic

Occurs when the editing area of a document window is right-clicked, before the default right-click action.

Private Sub object_WindowBeforeRightClick(ByVal Sel As Selection, Cancel As Boolean)

object    An object of type Application declared with events in a class module. For more information about using events with the Application object, see Using Events with the Application Object.

Sel    The current selection.

Cancel    False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the default right-click action does not occur when the procedure is finished.

Example

This example prompts the user for a yes or no response before executing the default right-click action. This code must be placed in a class module, and an instance of the class must be correctly initialized in order to see this example work; see Using Events with the Application Object for directions on how to accomplish this.

Public WithEvents appWord as Word.Application

        & "Continue with operation on this selection?", _
