Capture Mouse click and execute VBA in PowerPoint 2007

[sous2817]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to unhide an image after a set animation takes place in a slide. I think I have some reliable code to count when a click happens:

Sub SlideShowNextClick(ByVal Wn As SlideShowWindow, ByVal nEffect As Effect)
MsgBox SlideShowWindows(1).View.GetClickIndex
End Sub

The problem is, the SlideShowNextClick event isn't firing at all. Is there some fancy way to fire off code in PowerPoint? I know I can attach code to a shape, but that's not what I'm looking for...any help with how to fire code when the slide is clicked would be great.

Hi sous,

I have the same issue, but I am working on Office 2007, VSTO 3.0 and Visual Studio 2010. When I try to run Microsoft Powerpoint 2007 in Debug Mode, and have got breakpoints in Application_SlideShowNextClick event, it isn't getting fired at all. Have you found a fix or still is it buggy? Is there any way to fire that event?

Cheers,
podaVenna!

Sorry, I've long since abandoned this. I'm not even sure I remember the context of my problem, so I won't be too much help...
