this code is written to update the shape of the color whenever i drag n drop it according to its position. it is called once in workbook_open() event
But it is running all the time from opening the workbook till closing it.
Is there any method to make it run only when shape is selected.


Code:
Sub UpdateColor()
Dim ShapeXValue As Double
Dim datetRunTme As Date
Const TimeInterval As String = "00:00:01"


 'create error if selection does not involve a shape
On Error GoTo NoShapeSelected
 'amend colour based on selection.left
ShapeXValue = Selection.Left
Dim colour As Long
Select Case ShapeXValue
    Case Is < Range("G4", "G4").Left: colour = RGB(255, 128, 0)
    Case Is < Range("N4", "N4").Left: colour = RGB(0, 153, 0)
    Case Else: colour = RGB(219, 38, 10)
End Select


Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = colour


NoShapeSelected:
 'configure routine to run again
datetRunTme = Now + TimeValue(TimeInterval)
Application.OnTime earliesttime:=datetRunTme, procedure:="UpdateColor", schedule:=True


End Sub
