Question

I am doing some working on a PowerPoint add-in. I have to do some additional work like showing an extra menu or creating a checkbox when user right clicks on the slide. I am doing this like

    PowerPoint.Application pApp = this.Application;    
    pApp.WindowBeforeRightClick += pApp_WindowBeforeRightClick;

But this event doesn't get fired. I tried debugging but this event never gets listened. Same is the case with the double click event. Am I declaring this wrong? Please help.

Was it helpful?

Solution

There's nothing wrong with your code or declaration. Its a bug in PowerPoint that Microsoft has not yet fixed since PowerPoint 2007.

According to MSDN the double click event gets fired on 3 views but in reality it only gets fired in the slide sorter view. Only the OnWindowSelection events gets fired in PowerPoint.
